Ergonomics Desk Reference 
2nd Edition

Here's the resource you need to establish 
your own program before OSHA's proposed 
Ergonomics Standard is finalized.

Keller's Ergonomic Desk Reference helps you meet the basic obligations of OSHA's proposed Ergonomics Standard now ... so you can "grandfather" your program and avoid following the standard point-by-point once it's finalized.

Now that OSHA has officially proposed its ergonomics standard, you have a choice to make. You can wait for the standard to be finalized and then comply with a huge list of stringent requirements. Or, you can put your own program in place -- one that satisfies the basic obligation section of each core program element in the proposed standard -- before the new reg is finalized ... and be "grandfathered" out of full compliance, provided:

• your program satisfies all the basic obligations of each core program element in the standard, and you are in compliance with the recordkeeping requirements of the standard
• you have implemented and evaluated your program and controls before the effective date of the final rule
• the evaluation indicates that all the elements are functioning properly and that you are in compliance with the control requirements of 1910.921.

To establish and manage your own program before the proposed standard is finalized, you'll need to know what it will take to meet the basic obligations to "grandfather" your program. That's where Keller comes in.

Keller's Ergonomics Desk Reference contains a complete, word-for-word reprint of the proposed standard (CFR 29 Part 1910.900 Subpart Y), a step-by-step approach to satisfying the basic elements of the standard, and a compilation of OSHA, NIOSH, and other reference material that can help you develop your own program.
