National Advisory Committee on Ergonomics
The National Advisory Committee on Ergonomics advises the Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety
and Health on ergonomic guidelines, research, and outreach and assistance.
The Assistant Secretary will seek advice from the Committee in the following areas:
- Information related to various industry or task-specific guidelines
- identification of gaps in the existing research base related to applying ergonomic principles to the workplace
- current and projected research needs and efforts
- methods of providing outreach and assistance that will communicate the value of ergonomics to employers and employees, and
- ways to increase communication among stakeholders on the issue of ergonomics.
The Committee will be expected to report periodically to the Assistant Secretary on its findings and
recommendations. Where Committee recommendations involve research efforts, the Assistant Secretary will forward such recommendations to
NIOSH.
