Are there OSHA regulations requiring monitor arms in offices?

OSHA's General Duty Clause (Section 5(a)(1)) requires employers to provide a workplace free from recognized hazards, which includes ergonomic hazards. While OSHA has no specific standard mandating monitor arms, OSHA's ergonomics guidelines and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) recommend workstation ergonomics that a monitor arm directly supports — monitor at eye level, screen at appropriate viewing distance, neck in neutral posture. Employers with documented ergonomic programs and employees reporting neck/shoulder discomfort from monitor positioning may be expected to provide ergonomic interventions, including monitor arms.
