An important part of the ergonomic process is a periodic review of the facility, specific workstation designs and work practices, and the overall production process, from an ergonomics perspective. This includes identifying existing problems, which can be obtained from reviewing the company's OSHA 300 injury and illness logs, 301 reports, workers' compensation records, and worker reports of problems.
OSHA, the National Waste and Recycling Association (NWRA), and the Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA) provide NWRA and SWANA members and the public with information, guidance, and access to training resources that will help them protect the health and safety of workers in the solid waste industry and understand the rights of workers and the responsibilities of employers under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act).
Through the Alliance, OSHA, USPOULTRY, NCC, and NTF (“Poultry Industry Alliance Participants”) will work together to provide Poultry Industry Alliance Participants’ members and the public with information, guidance, and access to training resources that will help them protect workers by reducing and preventing exposures related to peracetic acid, repetitive trauma injuries, and other prevalent chemical and physical hazards in the poultry industry.
OSHA, USITT, and IATSE are committed to providing USITT and IATSE members and others with information, guidance, and access to training resources that will help them protect the health and safety of workers and understand the rights of workers and the responsibilities of employers under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act). Through the Alliance, the Participants will continue to address fall, electrical, ergonomic, and other hazards present in the entertainment industry.
Specific goals and objectives of this Alliance are:
Through the Alliance, OSHA, A3, and NIOSH will work together to share technical knowledge, improve awareness about workplace hazards and appropriate safeguards, and identify needed research on the use of traditional industrial and emerging collaborative robot technologies.
