In the wake of the #MeToo movement, workplace harassment is under increasing scrutiny from an employment law perspective. However, that’s just the tip of the iceberg – it may cross into OSHA territory when harassment includes workplace violence. This workshop will cover the basics of what constitutes workplace violence, the No. 1 cause of occupational fatalities for women. It will also address illegal workplace harassment (including sexual assault as well as hostile work environment). Employers must provide a safe work environment under OSHA's General Duty Clause and prevent workplace violence. OSHA policies and rulemaking and congressional initiatives will be addressed, as well as best practices for prevention and worker education.
