Ergonomics?

From the Michigan Retailers monthly newsletter (article is titled "Top 10 Legislative Issues to Watch in 2009:

"This is a regulatory issue rather than a legislative one and in Michigan that further complicates efforts to kill it. MIOSHA has put together guidelines for a state-specific ergonomics rule, but has yet to put in a request for rule making authority. The business community has opposed such a request, as it would put a process into motion that would be almost impossible to stop and would result in increased costs to business."

I've written about this before because it makes Michigan employers even less competitive - not exactly what we need given Michigan's dismal economy. Please contact your state legislators if you agree. And it wouldn't hurt to contact the Governor and MIOSHA too.
