This paper discusses the current Bush Administration's decision to sign a joint resolution of Congress disapproving Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) ergonomics standard and the consequences of putting that resolution into effect.
This paper focuses on the OSHA ergonomics program initiated in 2001 and the following elimination of that program by Congress. The scope and the purpose of the ergonomics program is examined as well as the consequences caused by its elimination.
From the Paper:
"It is interesting to note that this was NOT the agency's proposal, but obviously a political one, with the new President strongly beholden to the business community. The agency, OSHA, is not a "political animal." It was created to develop a meaningful means of overseeing workplace safety, which involves a lot more than unsafe working conditions."
