Description: At every step of an OSHA inspection, decisions are made (or not made) that could greatly enhance or decrease fines, violation classifications and contemplated abatement measures. Even more damaging is how these decisions may impact spin-off private litigation if workplace fatalities or injuries accompany the citations. A board certified labor attorney who handles the defense of OSHA citations will walk through permissible legal strategies throughout an investigation and afterwards.
