摘要

Enforcement of ergonomic hazards under the General Duty Clause has a long history with mixed results. The fourth prong of the GDC criteria-feasibility of abatement-will likely remain the stumbling block for successful prosecution. One potential advantage of this approach is that GDC enforcement can cover all workplaces-including general industry workplaces, construction, maritime and agriculture-whereas the rescinded standard covered only general industry. Whether the agency will be able to expend adequate resources to educate its compliance officers so that true hazards can be identified and cited with the necessary precision remains to be seen. If history is any indication, prosecution through the GDC will be a long, costly process. Moreover, it delegates to the OSHRC power to define what constitutes recognized ergonomic hazards through case law development. One can only hope that such decisions will be carefully drafted because of their impact on the future practice of safety and health and on the lives of American workers.
