Description
With a new administration in Washington, including a recently nominated
head of the U.S Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA),
big changes are likely coming for workplace safety regulations and
enforcement. While OSHA kept a relatively low
profile during the Trump Administration, the agency has been extremely
active during the first weeks of the Biden Administration. OSHA has
already issued several new policies on COVID-19 worker safety and
published a long-awaited proposed rule to update the Hazard
Communication Standard. What other actions will OSHA take that will
impact the chemical distribution industry? Will the agency resume
efforts to update its Process Safety Management Standard, intensify
efforts under its Chemical National Emphasis Program, and increase
enforcement efforts, including a return to public shaming of companies
that have been cited? Pete will discuss these and other topics to help
your company prepare.
