National Advisory Committee on Ergonomics
The National Advisory Committee on Ergonomics advised the Assistant Secretary of
Labor for Occupational Safety and Health on ergonomic guidelines, research, and
outreach and assistance. NACE's charter ended in November 2004.
The Committee provided advice to the Assistant Secretary in the following areas:
- Information related to various industry or task-specific guidelines
- identification of gaps in the existing research base related to applying ergonomic principles to the workplace
- current and projected research needs and efforts
- methods of providing outreach and assistance that will communicate the value of ergonomics to employers and employees, and
- ways to increase communication among stakeholders on the issue of ergonomics.
The Committee reported periodically to the Assistant Secretary on its findings
and recommendations. View the complete list of Committee recommendations. Where
Committee recommendations involved research efforts, the Assistant Secretary
forwarded such recommendations to NIOSH.
