Legal Aspects of OSHA & Citation Defense: What to Do (Before &) When OSHA Knocks

Legal Aspects of OSHA & Citation Defense: What to Do (Before &) When OSHA Knocks
This interactive and comprehensive presentation offers attendees an in-depth, practical examination of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (the “Act”) and how it, and the Secretary of Labor’s right to enforce the Act, may potentially affect his or her business. We’ll give attendees practical, “real world” information regarding the various legal aspects of the Act. We’ll use actual scenarios – photos, videos, factual circumstances, etc. – to illustrate citations under the Act. We’ll focus on the Secretary of Labor’s right to issue the various types of citations, paying special attention to the ramifications that may result when businesses pay citations (especially repeat and willful citations), even after settlement negotiations with the Secretary of Labor have taken place.

After the seminar, attendees will:

1. Have a plan in place to prepare for an OSHA inspection;
2. Know their rights if and when OSHA arrives;
3. Understand the ramifications of issues, including matters relating to employee testimony, arising during an OSHA inspection;
4. Be able to put procedures in place to enhance employee safety; and
5. Have a greater understanding of the interplay of OSHA with other types of laws and litigation.
