Join Rachel L. Conn<\/a>, Daniel Deacon<\/a>, and Anthony M. Casaletta<\/a> on Thursday, June 18, at 2 pm ET \/ 11 am PT, for a webinar titled “Understanding OSHA\u2019s Approach to Ergonomics.”<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While OSHA lacks a specific ergonomics standard, it enforces workplace safety under the General Duty Clause (Section 5(a)(1) of the OSH Act), requiring employers to maintain workplaces free from recognized serious hazards, including musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) risks. OSHA also uses National Emphasis Programs (NEPs)\u2014such as the Warehousing & Distribution NEP\u2014to target high-risk industries, incorporate ergonomics into inspections, and issue citations or hazard alerts when hazards are identified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this webinar, CMC attorneys will walk you through the most common ergonomic risks\u2014repetitive motion, awkward lifting, twisting, bending, and heavy material handling\u2014and share insights from real-world investigations. You\u2019ll learn how to identify potential hazards, navigate OSHA ergonomics inspections, and implement strategies to manage compliance while minimizing legal exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
