The Mine Safety and Health Act is important, but it focuses more on specific industries rather than general design efficiency. I’m leaning towards ergonomics too.

I see your point, Sommer. Ergonomics is more about the design and efficiency of the environment, while MSHA is more about regulations for safety in specific industries.
