There is no OSHA regulation that specifically addresses ergonomics. If, during an OSHA inspector’s review of an employer’s records or as the result of an employee complaint, a number of musculoskeletal disorders are uncovered for which the employer has not taken steps to resolve, the employer may be cited under Section 5(a)(1) of the OSH Act, commonly referred to as the General Duty Clause. This section of the Act requires employers to provide a safe and healthful workplace free of recognized, serious hazards. If your facility is located in a state-plan state, check to see if your state has any ergonomics laws or regulations. State-plan states may be more stringent than federal OSHA.
