Details

• Personal Author:

• Description:
  On March 20, 1995, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) released a draft of its standard for Prevention of Work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders. While it is likely to change significantly before it is published in the Federal Register as a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, the purpose of the summary is to stimulate discussion of what OSHA should do to stem the tide of musculoskeletal injuries affecting workers. A flow chart of the process under the standard is shown in Figure 1. [Description provided by NIOSH]
