Archived News Release — Caution: Information may be out of date.
WASHINGTON - The U.S. Department of Labor announced today that,
in the wake of last week's events, the Department will temporarily postpone the
announcement of a plan of action on ergonomics.
The announcement, which was expected this month, will be made later this
Fall.
In July, the Department conducted three forums in Virginia, Illinois and
California, to solicit public comment on ergonomics. Witness testimony and
written comments are under review.
Members of the Department's Occupational Health and Safety
Administration have been heavily involved in the rescue and recovery efforts at
the World Trade Center and the Pentagon during the past week, which has
prevented the Department from devoting full attention to this important issue.
