Description

As the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) beefs up its whistleblower program, employers should brace themselves for more claims and investigations. This presentation will explain the implications of OSHA’s emphasis on whistleblower investigations and inspections, outline the steps companies can use to minimize the number of complaints that employees file, and lessen the impact and liability they face if OSHA targets them.
