Many Americans voted for Donald Trump in the hopes he would be a disruptive force in Washington. Since his election, the private sector is asking what changes has President Trump made within the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and how will those changes affect employers and the workplace?
In the second installment of our safety and health compliance strategies series, Husch Blackwell attorneys will review the substantive actions taken by the executive, legislative and judicial branches with respect to OSHA and its enforcement powers. We will also look ahead to what might happen in the next three years once an Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health takes office.
