In this podcast recorded at Ogletree Deakins' national Workplace Strategies seminar, Workplace Safety Practice Group members Wayne Pinkstone (Philadelphia) and David Walston (Birmingham) bring listeners up to date on the latest rulemaking and enforcement activity from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Wayne and David provide insights into the agency's new priorities and discuss OSHA's use of rapid response investigations and programmed inspections and the issuance of hazard alert letters since the COVID-19 pandemic ended. In addition, our speakers describe how OSHA has recently reenergized its focus on pre-pandemic priorities such as fall protections, workplace violence, indoor and outdoor heat-related hazards, and personal protective equipment.
