Agency Activities, OSHA's Proposed Ergonomics Standards
This page provides links to or copies of materials gathered from federal agencies
involved in the issue. Where applicable, we include such things as regulatory
amendments, proposed new regulations, information about regulatory procedures
and news releases from executive branch agencies. We provide both a link to
the main page of the agency concerned as well as a copy of the pages relating
to the issue that we found in our searches. Because we want to keep information
concerning each of our cases for an archive, we copied their pages during the
period of research. Included with each page title is the original URL from which
we retrieved the information. Note that some of these original URLs may not
work because the group has updated or changed its website.
