Currently, there is no federal regulation that governs ergonomics. Similarly, Washington has no specific requirements regarding ergonomics. Washington still has a requirement that is equivalent to OSHA's General Duty Clause for providing a safe and healthy workplace, free from recognized hazards.

However in 2024 the state agency passed RCW 49.17.520 allowing the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) to adopt one new rule every year to prevent work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs). The agency may adopt new rules for only one industry or risk classification per year and the first rule cannot take effect until July 1, 2026. .
