In this podcast, John Surma (shareholder, Houston) and Jeff Leslie (of counsel, Dallas) review the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSH Act) from the law’s origin and purpose to OSHA standards and citations—and the impact on employers. Jeff and John, both of whom are members of the firm’s Workplace Safety and Health Practice Group, also discuss the differences between state and federal OSHA plans, accident reporting, inspections, employee interviews, and other enforcement mechanisms.
