SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies
must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each
collection of information they conduct
or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also
requires Federal agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning each proposed collection of
information, including each new
proposed collection, each proposed
extension of existing collection of
information, and each reinstatement of
previously approved information
collection before submitting the
collection to OMB for approval. To
comply with this requirement, we are
publishing this notice of a proposed
data collection as described below.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology; and (e) estimates of capital
or start-up costs and costs of operation,
maintenance, and purchase of services
to provide information. Burden means
the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to
generate, maintain, retain, disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal
agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; to develop,
acquire, install and utilize technology
and systems for the purpose of
collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and

The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), as part of
its continuing efforts to reduce public
burden and maximize the utility of
government information, invites the
general public and other Federal
agencies to take this opportunity to
comment on proposed and/or
continuing information collections, as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995. This notice invites

collection project entitled ‘‘Survey of
Musculoskeletal Disorders Prevention
Tools/Methods: 10-year Follow-Up’’.

certification) to gather information on
the basic tools, direct and observational
measurement techniques, and software
used at work sites to assess risk factors
for musculoskeletal disorders.

Proposed Project
Survey of Musculoskeletal Disorders
Prevention Tools/Methods: 10-year
Follow-Up—New—National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health, Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The mission of the National Institute
for Occupational Safety and Health
(NIOSH) is to promote safety and health
at work for all people through research
and prevention. Under Public Law 91–
596, sections 20 and 22 (Section 20–22,
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970), NIOSH has the responsibility to
conduct research to advance the health
and safety of workers. In this capacity,
NIOSH proposes to administer a survey
of ergonomics professionals as a 10-year
follow-up to a survey conducted of U.S.
Certified Professional Ergonomists
(CPEs) by Dempsey et al. and published
in 2005 (A survey of tools and methods
used by certified professional
ergonomists. Applied Ergonomics, 36,
489–503). NIOSH is requesting a one
year approval period for this data
collection.
The project is planned to extend the
original survey in two ways: (1) The
Since publication of the initial survey
findings there has been a proliferation of
smart phone/smart device-embedded
inertial and acceleration sensors and
related ‘‘apps’’ for human motion and
activity logging. Little is known about
the extent to which ergonomics
practitioners are using these newer
technologies towards assessing
workplace physical activity (and now,
workplace inactivity and
‘‘sedentarism’’) and other job demands.
Thus, the survey will provide a
contemporary perspective on the scope
of use of assessment tools and methods
by these professionals. This project will
involve the collection of non-sensitive
data via web-based survey questionnaire
methods. Survey data relate only to
respondents’ professional practice
within the OS&H discipline of
ergonomics and prevention of
musculoskeletal disorders.
Only certified ergonomics
professionals from five countries with
specific certification credentials will be
eligible and invited to participate. Their
participation will be voluntary. The
program has assumed an optimistic 80%
response rate to estimate the number of
respondents at 938 in the estimation of
annualized burden hours.
In summary, this study will update
information collected and published in
2005 on the methods and tools used by
practicing ergonomists. NIOSH expects
to complete data collection in 2017. The
total estimated burden hours is 469.
There are no costs to respondents other
than their time.
sample will be broadened to include
international ergonomics practitioners
(in Canada, the United Kingdom, New
Zealand, and Australia), and, (2) the
queried tools and methods have been
updated to reflect new and emerging
technologies not included in the
original survey. The purpose of the
survey will be unchanged—to gather
information on the types of basic tools,
direct and observational measurement
techniques, and software used in the
field by ergonomics practitioners to
assess workplace risk factors for
musculoskeletal disorders and to
evaluate workplace interventions.
The motivation for the original 2005
survey was to better understand the
types of tools and methods practitioners
use, their opinions of these tools, and to
potentially gain an understanding of the
constraints or preferences that influence
this selection. At the time of the 2005
survey, there were many tools reported
in the literature, but little information
on the extent to which these different
tools were used by practitioners.
Similarly, there was little published
information on users’ experiences with
these different tools. There has been
considerable interest in the findings and
the Dempsey et al (2005) publication
has been widely cited. The program
anticipates that a follow-up effort will
result in even greater interest as changes
in the practice of ergonomics and
prevention of soft tissue MSDs can be
inferred from comparisons between the
two surveys time points.
