Join us for a panel discussion on OSHA enforcement, emerging legal issues and trends affecting workplace safety. The speakers include state and federal OSHA litigation practice and policymakers, defense counsel, and three in-house attorneys who advise their companies on OSHA workplace safety issues. You’ll learn what to expect from OSHA on emerging legal issues and trends. We’ll discuss the agency’s aggressive use of the General Duty Clause to enforce new areas such as heat illness and workplace violence, talk about the changing demographics in the workforce (including language/literacy issues) and how they affect OSHA compliance, and hear advice from employers who have responded to these issues and OSHA inspections.
