MARCH 21, 2001 On Tuesday, President George W. Bush signed a bill into law officially repealing ergonomic standards instituted by the Clinton administration. The regulations would have taken effect in October and would have required employers to adhere to a number of health and work safety standards. But a number of Republican lawmakers and corporations opposed it and Bush's action is seen as a friendly gesture to businesses. OSHA, an agency of the Department of Labor, is working on another set of ergonomic regulations addressing similar health concerns. Since the old ones were repealed under a previously-unused act of of Congress, the government is prohibited from enacting future regulations which are similar. Get the Story:
