OSHA Back in the Enforcement Business

Sherman & Howard LLC is telling its clients to expect more federal workplace safety actions under the Barack Obama administration, possibly including more ergonomic inspections and sanctions against businesses.

The Denver-based law firm tells clients in a new white paper that the Occupational Health & Safety Administration will be much more aggressive under Obama than his predecessor, President George W. Bush. That includes more regulatory enforcement, an increased budget and the new administration’s ties to labor unions and other organizations that want more scrutiny and rules on workplace equipment and operations.
