Gain an understanding of the most common pitfalls when managing OSHA interactions.

 OSHA enforcement has changed in recent years but has not declined, and there are new issues to contend with – from the aftermath of a severe injury report under the revised rules to how to deal with OSHA’s use of drones. This information will provide guidance on the most common pitfalls when managing OSHA interactions arising from incident investigations, employee hazard or whistle-blower complaints, or programmed inspections. The material also reviews emerging topics including the latest National Emphasis Programs on silica and amputations, and the use of employer injury data through the relaunched Site-Specific Targeting Program.

 

Learning Objectives

  • You will be able to define the different types of OSHA programmed and unprogrammed inspections and unique considerations of each.
  • You will be able to describe under which conditions an employer can be cited for violations that it did not create.
  • You will be able to discuss legally effective ways of responding to OSHA subpoenas, and requests for interviews and documents.
  • You will be able to identify the most cited violations and how they interface with ongoing National Emphasis Programs.
