OSHA Issues During Acquisitions & Divestitures

OSHA compliance issues have been long ignored in the due diligence process for mergers, acquisitions and divestitures.

This webinar will explain the current landscape of successor liability under the OSH Act, explain what safety and health obligations a new employer may assume as a result of past conduct by a prior employer, and provide tips and strategies for managing OSHA compliance related due diligence.​
