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.
