Repeal of ergonomics standard doesn’t stop OSHA from issuing citations

Interesting to see the level of OSHA ergonomics enforcement. Repetitive stress injuries are the #1 cause of days off from work in the US. It makes business $en$e for managers to encourage breaks, rest periods, and good ergonomic practices.

Thanks to Miriam Joffe, Certified Professional Ergonomist at Auburn Engineers,  for the tip!
