Improving driver health with ergonomics
In November 2000, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued an ergonomics standard to prevent debilitating Work-related MusculoSkeletal Disorders (WMSDs). Four months later, the standard was culled - ouch. Roger Brereton, Head of Sales at Pailton Engineering, explains why this was a bad decision and investigates the importance of ergonomic design in bus manufacturing.
