Solutions for
Electrical Contractors
Between 1999 and 2002, more than 30 percent of all
employee compensation claims from the Independent Electrical Contractors (IEC) were related to ergonomics. This amounted to more than $10 million in claims in just four years.
This *eTool describes common hazards that
electrical contractors may encounter and
possible solutions for these hazards.
This eTool is a
product of the
OSHA and Independent
Electrical Contractors (IEC) Alliance. For a general discussion of ergonomic solutions, visit the OSHA Ergonomics page.
*eTools are web-based training tools on occupational safety and health topics. They use graphical menus as well as expert system modules. As indicated in the disclaimer, eTools create no new OSHA requirements.
