[Webinar] What Employers Should Expect from OSHA Under a Second Trump Administration

Following another close national election, President Trump returns to the White House for a second term, and resumes control over the vast Executive Branch bureaucracy, including the Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration. OSHA is coming off the heels of a remarkable period of record-setting enforcement and a flurry of new rulemaking under the Biden/Harris Administration. The pendulum will swing as control at OSHA transitions to the Trump/Vance Administration, but just how much, how quickly, and in what ways remain to be seen. We have some clues what that will look like based on historical trends, our experience with the Trump/Pence Administration, and signals from the 2024 campaign trail. But there are a couple things that muddy the picture for the future of OSHA – President Trump has proven to be unpredictable, we never saw a Senate-confirmed Head of OSHA during his first term, and his supporting cast is shaping up to be very different this go around.

In this special webinar event, attorneys from Conn Maciel Carey’s national OSHA Practice will review the enforcement and rulemaking landscape at OSHA during this period of transition, and peek into the crystal ball to predict what employers can expect from OSHA over the next several years, including:

• Who will be the key decisionmakers at the Department of Labor and OSHA

• What will become of OSHA’s new final Worker Walkaround Representative Designation Process Rule and the expanded E-Recordkeeping Rule

• What are the prospects for OSHA’s ongoing Heat Illness Prevention, Emergency Response, Infectious Disease and other ongoing rulemakings

• What is the fate of OSHA’s newest enforcement tools, including the expanded Instance-by-Instance Citation Policy and Severe Violator Enforcement Program

• How will the State OSH Plans conduct their business during a second Trump Administration
