<br />.. . ~- <br /> <br />. Indicate that e-mail communications are subject to records retention requirements. <br /> <br />H. Worker safety and technology <br /> <br />The increasing use of computers in the wodcplace may increase the number of wOlKers' <br />compensation claims from city employees who have suffered repetitive stress injuries. Cities can <br />reduce the risk of liability from this type of claim by establishing an office ergonomics program. <br />Ergonomics is the science of fitting the job to the worker. Ergonomics programs can reduce the <br />risk of work-related repetitive stress injuries that can occur when there is a mismatch between an <br />employee and his or her workstation. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration <br />(OSHA) recently proposed new rules for an ergonomics standard and some argue that this is <br />evidence that OSHA is moving toward adopting some type of national ergonomics standard. <br />There is a brief sununary in the Appendix that outlines some basic information that managers <br />should know to ensure proper office ergonomics. Please contact the League of Minnesota Cities <br />for more information about starting an ergonomics program in your city. <br /> <br />Susan Naughton 3/00 <br /> <br />8 <br />
