HF/E colleagues,
Many of you are involved in research and/or practice associated with safety in the medical or occupational ergonomics industries. For those who are, you may want to provide public comments to the revisions to the standards below. My understanding is that any public comments have to be explicitly, specifically, and publicly addressed (at least that is my professional experience). Thus, this is an important and meaningful opportunity for input.
Best,
Camille
