Regulatory Watch: Senate aims to breathe new life into ergonomic regs

Senate aims to breathe new life into ergonomic regs
A bipartisan effort is underway in the Senate to revive federally mandated ergonomics
regulations, placing new responsibilities on employers.
Sen. John Breaux (D-LA) and Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA) are co-sponsoring a bill
to require OSHA to issue ergonomics regulations within two years, restricting
the Labor Department’s ability to implement its own plan for dealing with
ergonomics issues.
In April the Labor Department issued a four-pronged approach to addressing
ergonomic issues in the workplace.
