For assistance with identifying potential ergonomic problems, where can an employer turn for help?
A. OSHAs Consultation Project is a good resource. This service allows an employer to request a visit from a state consultant who can give practical advice on job safety and health problems. These consultants receive the same training as the federal inspection staff, but cannot issue citations, propose penalties or routinely provide information about workplace conditions to the federal inspection staff.
