The short explanation of this alert was:

Stop Efforts to Undermine WA Ergonomics Rule

After years of discussion and debate among business leaders, organized labor, and elected officials, last year Washington State's Department of Labor & Industries adopted a fair and reasonable ergonomics rule, backed by science and workplace experience. These guidelines aim to protect thousands of workers from needless injuries and save employers money by reducing injury claims and lowering related industrial insurance rates. 

Unfortunately, some short-sighted state legislators are now backing a bill that would repeal this rule, or working to make compliance totally voluntary, which would effectively repeal the rule.

Please act today and tell your state Senators that you oppose SB 5161 and support our state's ergonomic safeguards, and that you oppose all efforts to repeal or undermine these guidelines.

(Your message will be automatically addressed and sent via email to your state senator, using a legislative district look-up based on your street address.)
