Are you prepared for an OSHA inspection? Take advantage of one of two free OSHA briefings covering the latest OSHA issues and detailing what employers need to be doing now to prepare for an OSHA inspection, and then how best to manage an OSHA inspection once it begins. The first briefing will be in Columbus on November 14, 2012, and the second will be in Cincinnati on November 15, 2012.
Event Description:
OSHA has increased enforcement to levels never seen before, and employers in the Midwestern states have experienced the largest impact. From huge increases in the numbers of citations characterized as "willful" or "repeat" and criminal referrals to more aggressive strategies during inspections, OSHA's enforcement philosophy under the current administration has created a minefield for today's employers. The consequences of being caught unprepared for an OSHA inspection are now more dire than ever.
Attorneys Eric J. Conn and Amanda R. Strainis-Walker, leaders of the national OSHA Practice Group at Epstein Becker Green, will provide an update on the current landscape of OSHA enforcement, review employers' and employees' rights during an OSHA inspection, provide detailed recommendations for actions that employers can and should take, and discuss strategies to help ensure the best possible outcome from an unexpected visit by OSHA. This half-day, interactive program is designed for those seeking to prepare for an OSHA inspection, reduce costs, maintain operational efficiencies, and control union influence in workplace issues.
