Labor Department gathering information on workplace ergonomics
Is Labor Department Secretary Elaine Chao thinking of reviving the issue of workplace ergonomics? Seems so. The Labor Department held three forums on the issue in July in Washington, D.C., Chicago and Stanford, Calif.
Chao has also held informal discussions with groups interested in the issue over the past several months, and is expected to decide next month whether or not to regulate workplace conditions that may cause repetitive stress injuries.
