Partnership Overview:

The Partnership will serve as a roadmap to help achieve OSHA’s and Johnson & Johnson’s (J&J) common goal – the enhancement of occupational safety and health for J&J and America’s employees. The major focus of the Partnership is the reduction in incidence and severity of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs). The effort is consistent with J&J’s corporate goal to effect injury- and illness-free workplaces.

Partnership Goals:
  • Identify and communicate an effective process (guide) to develop and implement successful ergonomics programs/guidelines.
     
  • Identify at least three J&J ergonomic best practices and related training materials in each of the following three J&J divisions: pharmaceutical, medical devices and consumer goods.
     
  • Reduce the incidence and severity of MSDs at J&J participating company facilities.
     
  • Share J&J best practices in ergonomics with other J&J facilities, like industries and the public.
Partnership Objectives:
  • Establish a cooperative effort to develop policies, practices, and processes designed to reduce the incidence and severity of MSDs that are associated with the performance of work tasks posing ergonomic risk factors.
     
  • Identify best practices for the development and implementation of successful ergonomics programs and guidelines.
     
  • Communicate best practices among all J&J facilities, employers and employees in related industries, and with the public, as appropriate.
