OSHA is seeking comments on new ergonomics guidelines that could help employers and their employees in the shipyard industry prevent musculoskeletal injuries. The draft guidance, Ergonomics for the Prevention of Musculoskeletal Disorders: Guidelines for Shipyards, provides practical recommendations for employers to reduce the number and severity of workplace injuries in their facilities by identifying, evaluating and controlling hazards and using best practices that have been successful in shipyards. Procedures for submitting comments are outlined in the Sept. 11 Federal Register.
