Six major trade associations have adopted a resolution supporting the ergonomic injury plan issued April 5 by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.

The associations signing the resolution are the American Insurance Association, Washington; the Alliance of American Insurers, Downers Grove, Ill.; the Council of Insurance Agents and Brokers, Washington; the National Association of Independent Insurers, Des Plaines, Ill.; the National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies, Indianapolis; and UWC
