What am I required to do with regard to ergonomics?

California's ergonomics regulation, aimed at minimizing work-related repetitive motion injuries (RMIs), requires employers whose employees report RMIs to implement a program designed to minimize RMIs. The program must include performing worksite evaluations, controlling exposures causing RMIs and employee training. The employer must also evaluate for exposures that have caused the reported RMIs and correct them in a timely manner.

Once an employer is subject to the ergonomics regulation, all the employer's employees must be provided with ergonomics training.
