As the Trump Administration hands over the keys to President-Elect Biden and a new Democratic Administration, OSHA\u2019s enforcement and regulatory landscape is set to change in dramatic ways, from shifting enforcement priorities, budgets and policies, to efforts to reignite OSHA\u2019s rulemaking apparatus. Following an Administration that never installed an Assistant Secretary of Labor for OSHA, handled COVID-19 enforcement with a light touch, pumped the brakes on almost all rulemaking in general, and declined to issue an emergency COVID-19 standard in particular, the pendulum swing at OSHA is likely to be more pronounced than during past transitions. Accordingly, it is more important now than ever before to pay attention to OSHA developments.<\/p>\n

\u200b<\/span>Conn Maciel Carey\u2019s complimentary\u00a02021 OSHA Webinar Series<\/a>, which includes (at least) monthly programs put on by OSHA-specialist attorneys in the firm\u2019s\u00a0national OSHA Practice<\/a>, is designed to give employers\u00a0insight into developments at OSHA during this period of flux and unpredictability.<\/p>\n

OSHA\u2019s 2020 in Review and 2021 Forecast<\/strong><\/a><\/h1>\n

Thursday, January 14, 2021 at 1 PM ET<\/strong><\/p>\n

Presented by the Partners in Conn Maciel Carey\u2019s national\u00a0OSHA Practice<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n

\u200b<\/u>The ball has dropped, the confetti has been swept out of Times Square, and 2020 is in the books.\u00a0 It\u2019s time to look back and take stock of what we learned from and about OSHA over the past year.\u00a0 More importantly, it is time to look ahead and assess what to expect from OSHA during the new year, and the start of a new Presidential term (either the 2nd Term of President Trump or new Administration under former Vice President Joe Biden).\u00a0 In\u00a0this webinar<\/a><\/u>, the Chair of Conn Maciel Carey\u2019s national\u00a0OSHA Practice Group<\/a><\/u>\u00a0will review OSHA enforcement, rulemaking, and leadership developments from 2020, and will discuss the top OSHA issues employers should monitor and prepare for in the New Year.<\/p>\n

Cal\/OSHA\u2019s COVID-19 Emergency Temporary Standard<\/a><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Tuesday, January 26, 2021 at 12 PM PT \/ 3 PM ET<\/strong><\/p>\n

Presented by\u00a0Andrew Sommer<\/a><\/u>,\u00a0Fred Walter<\/a><\/u>, and\u00a0Megan Shaked<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n

\u200bNot to be outdone by other State OSH Plans like Virginia OSHA, Oregon OSHA, and Michigan OSHA, our friends at Cal\/OSHA have adopted their own COVID-19 specific emergency temporary standard, and it is in a league of its own.\u00a0 This standard adds significant, burdensome new compliance obligations to California\u2019s existing slate of state and local requirements applicable to employers.<\/p>\n

\u200bThis webinar<\/a><\/u>\u00a0will provide an overview of the regulation, existing and anticipated guidance provided by Cal\/OSHA about it, as well as enforcement efforts by Cal\/OSHA to date.\u00a0 We will also examine the interplay between the emergency temporary standard and other new California legislation, including AB 685 and SB 1159.\u00a0 Finally, we will help you interpret and avoid common pitfalls from some of the trickier sections of the regulation, such as the Outbreaks and Testing provisions.<\/p>\n

What Employers Need to Know About COVID-19 Vaccines<\/strong><\/a><\/h1>\n

Thursday, February 11, 2021 at 1 PM ET<\/strong><\/p>\n

Presented by\u00a0Kara Maciel<\/a><\/u>,\u00a0Eric J. Conn<\/a><\/u>, Fern Fleischer-Daves, and\u00a0Lindsay DiSalvo<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n

\u200bIn December 2020, two COVID-19 vaccines received emergency use authorization from the US government and several more vaccines may be approved in the coming months. \u00a0In the initial phases, front-line health care workers, nursing home residents, persons over 75 years of age, and others with underlying health conditions were given first priority. \u00a0Many employers want to have their \u201cessential workers\u201d or all of their workers vaccinated as soon as possible.\u200b<\/p>\n

During\u00a0this webinar<\/a><\/u>, Conn Maciel Carey\u2019s OSHA and Labor & Employment attorneys will discuss these important questions:\u00a0\u200b<\/p>\n

COVID-19 Vaccine \u2013 What Employers That Are Distributing and Administering the Vaccine Need to Know<\/strong><\/a><\/h1>\n

Thursday, February 18, 2021 at 1 PM ET<\/strong><\/p>\n

In December 2020, two COVID-19 vaccines received emergency use authorization from the US government and several more vaccines may be approved in the coming months. \u00a0Representing the greatest concerted public health effort in the United States since the rollout of the Polio vaccine in the 1930s, the federal government is working with state and local health agencies, \u200bas well as private companies across the \u200bnation to distribute and administer the coronavirus vaccine.\u00a0 To protect health care and other frontline workers now and then tens of millions of essential workers later in the year, employers will play a key role in this effort.\u00a0 \u200bThis situation raises myriad health and safety legal issues for these employers. Conn Maciel Carey\u2019s COVID-19 Task Force has taken a careful look at these issues and will join with public health experts in the field to discuss the various issues facing employers participating in the coronavirus vaccine rollout.<\/p>\n

Update about the US Chemical Safety Board (the CSB)<\/a><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Tuesday, March 16, 2021 at 1 PM ET<\/strong><\/p>\n

For a small agency, a lot happened at the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (the CSB) last year \u2013 and not all related to the COVID-19 pandemic.\u00a0 For example, in February, the CSB promulgated its long-anticipated accidental release reporting rule, creating broad new requirements for employers to report chemical incidents to the CSB.\u00a0 Although the rule went into effect in March of last year, the CSB set a one-year enforcement \u201cgrace period\u201d to provide time for the regulated community to become familiar with the rule, and for the Agency to develop explanatory guidance about the new rule.\u00a0 With the grace period approaching its end on March 23, 2021, it is critical for employers to understand their compliance obligations to avoid violations, which may include administrative penalties, and civil or criminal actions.<\/p>\n

\u200bAdditionally, with expired terms, early departures, and the swearing in of a new Chairperson (but no other Board members), the CSB\u2019s Board became a \u201cquorum of one\u201d for the first time in its history, begging questions about its authority to vote on mission-critical work product, such as investigation reports, and its ability to conduct business generally. Although President Biden will likely nominate new candidates early in his term, the Senate confirmation process can be a slog, especially for lower priority agency nominations, meaning the Board may maintain a quorum of one for an extended period.<\/p>\n

COVID-19 OSHA Enforcement and Regulatory Update<\/strong><\/a><\/h1>\n

Tuesday, April 20, 2021 at 1 PM ET<\/strong><\/p>\n

Presented by\u00a0Aaron Gelb<\/a><\/u>,\u00a0Amanda R. Walker<\/a><\/u>, and\u00a0Dan Deacon<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n

One of the most anticipated changes at OSHA as we transition to a Democratic administration under President Biden is the manner in which the agency regulates and enforces COVID-19 safety in the workplace.\u00a0Issuing a federal OSHA COVID-19 emergency temporary standard will be a top priority of the new administration. President-elect Biden\u2019s transition team includes several key proponents of a federal rule, including former Assistant Secretary of Labor for OSHA, Dr. David Michaels, and the Division Chief at Cal\/OSHA, Doug Parker, who oversaw the rulemaking for an emergency rule in California. \u00a0In the interim, the regulated community can expect an increase in enforcement under OSHA\u2019s General Duty Clause, as well as other existing standards related to infection control.\u00a0 While the vaccine roll-out offers a sign of hope for everyone, 2021 will still present major challenges for employers, and the new ramped-up enforcement landscape at OSHA will surely be one of them.<\/p>\n

OSHA\u2019s Respiratory Protection Rules: Top 5 Reasons to get it right, and employer mistakes<\/strong><\/a><\/h1>\n

Wednesday, May 12, 2021 at 1 PM ET<\/strong><\/p>\n

Presented by\u00a0Aaron Gelb<\/a><\/u>,\u00a0Amanda R. Walker<\/a><\/u>,\u00a0Beeta Lashkari<\/a><\/u>, and\u00a0Ashley Mitchell<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n

\u200bWhile respiratory protection has been top of mind in 2020 due to COVID-19, OSHA\u2019s respiratory protections requirements apply to wide range of industrial hygiene hazards, from hazardous chemicals to insufficient oxygen environments, and harmful dusts, smoke, gases, and vapors. Given that airborne hazards such as these may cause death or serious diseases like cancer, OSHA requires employers to assess their workplaces to determine whether hazards exist that necessitate respiratory protection and if so, to select the appropriate respirator, train employees how to properly use them, and ensure that the respirator is actually being worn. As such, it should come as no surprise that OSHA\u2019s respiratory protection standard consistently ranks among the 5 most frequently cited standards each year.<\/p>\n

\u200bThis webinar<\/a><\/u>\u00a0will highlight the respiratory protection implications of COVID-19 in the workplace, discuss workplace circumstances requiring respirators, the most frequent common respiratory protection program mistakes employers make, explain some of the most misunderstood provisions of the applicable OSHA standards, and identify strategies to limit exposure to the most common respiratory protection violations.<\/p>\n

What to Expect from the Biden Administration on the OSHA\/MSHA and Labor and Employment Fronts<\/strong><\/a><\/h1>\n

Wednesday, June 16, 2021 at 1 PM ET<\/strong><\/p>\n

Presented by\u00a0Amanda R. Walker<\/a><\/u>,\u00a0Nick Scala<\/a><\/u>, and\u00a0Lindsay DiSalvo<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n

\u200bPresident-elect Joe Biden will be inaugurated as the 46th President of the United States on January 20, 2021 and his administration is sure to usher in significant changes for employers.\u00a0 During the Trump Administration, the federal government focused on deregulation and the rules and regulations that were promulgated by federal agencies tended to minimize the regulatory burden on employers.\u00a0 For example, shortly into Donald Trump\u2019s presidency, Congress repealed the Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces Act and the Department of Labor (\u201cDOL\u201d) promulgated a joint employer regulation limiting the circumstances in which such a relationship will be found (this rule was partially vacated in September 2020).\u00a0 In the safety and health context, OSHA passed a regulation that narrowed the injury and illness information required to be submitted by covered employers on an annual basis per a rule originally passed in the Obama Administration.\u00a0 While MSHA significantly curbed its significant enforcement actions, and largely moved on from Obama era enforcement tools such as Rules To Live By and monthly targeted Impact Inspections, but also left the door open for the Biden Administration to carry on rulemaking efforts for Crystalline Silica exposure in mines.<\/p>\n

We expect the Biden Administration\u2019s DOL, including OSHA and MSHA, to look much more like the agencies under President Obama, even bringing back some of the Obama era initiatives suspended or altered during the Trump Administration.\u00a0 Initial actions taken by the Biden Administration will likely be focused on addressing the ramifications of COVID-19 and the economic recovery, which, in and of itself will have substantial ramifications for employers.\u00a0 In addition, the regulated community is likely to see an increase in enforcement, as well as efforts to pass regulations that were in the works during the Obama Administration, like the proposed rule on workplace violence.\u00a0 Employers are also likely to see a shift in agency practices and priorities.<\/p>\n

Mid-Year Review of OSHA Developments<\/strong><\/a><\/h1>\n

Thursday, July 22, 2021 at 1 PM ET<\/strong><\/p>\n

Presented by the Partners in Conn Maciel Carey\u2019s national\u00a0OSHA Practice<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n

\u200bHaving shared a series of predictions during our January webinar regarding how OSHA would tackle the COVID-19 pandemic and reshape its priorities under new leadership during the first year of the Biden Administration. We will now take stock of what has happened at DOL and OSHA during the first months of the Biden Administration, discuss surprise developments, and look ahead at the remainder of 2021 and beyond. We will take a close look at senior leadership now in place or on the way, and analyze what those appointments likely mean for employers.\u00a0We will also review OSHA\u2019s efforts to address the COVID-19 pandemic, including the anticipated emergency temporary standard and related enforcement.\u00a0At the same time, we will examine President Biden\u2019s efforts to make good on his promises to increase OSHA\u2019s budget, grow the number of inspectors and generally ramp up enforcement.\u00a0 We will also review key changes regarding compliance assistance, Voluntary Protection Programs, and expected rulemaking efforts.<\/p>\n

OSHA VPP and Other Cooperative Programs<\/strong><\/a><\/h1>\n

Tuesday, August 24, 2021 at 1 PM ET<\/strong><\/p>\n

Presented by\u00a0Kate M. McMahon<\/a><\/u>,\u00a0Aaron R. Gelb<\/a><\/u>, and\u00a0Lindsay A. DiSalvo<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n

\u200bMembership in OSHA\u2019s Voluntary Protection Programs (VPP) has long been coveted by employers with exceptional safety programs. VPP recognizes employers that implement effective safety and health management systems and maintain injury and illness rates below national averages for their industries. To be accepted into the Program, employers must undergo a rigorous onsite evaluation by a team of safety and health professionals and are re-evaluated every three to five years on myriad metrics to remain in the Program. Importantly, VPP members are exempt from OSHA programmed inspections.\u00a0 However, VPP came under intense scrutiny from the Obama\/Biden Administration because it was perceived as being too easy for employers get into, too difficult to be removed, and provided too much of an enforcement shield.\u00a0 With a transition back to a Democratic Administration, that negative view of VPP may resurface, resulting in further chipping away at participation opportunities and the attendant benefits to employers in the program.<\/p>\n

\u200bThis webinar will examine the basics of VPP, discuss possible changes to participation and the impact on employers that are currently flying or wish to fly the VPP flag.<\/p>\n

Update About OSHA\u2019s Electronic Recordkeeping Rule<\/strong><\/a><\/h1>\n

Wednesday, September 8, 2021 at 1 PM ET<\/strong><\/p>\n

Presented by\u00a0Eric J. Conn,<\/a><\/u>\u00a0Lindsay A. DiSalvo<\/a><\/u>, and\u00a0Dan Deacon<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n

\u200bOSHA\u2019s controversial E-Recordkeeping Rule has been challenged and criticized by stakeholders since its inception, with expectations that OSHA under a Trump Administration may significantly narrow or even rescind it. Despite issuing an amended rule, the Trump Administration did very little to narrow its impact on employers, and did nothing to alleviate concerns about the collection and publication of injury data or the problematic provisions affecting post-injury drug testing and safety incentive programs. \u00a0To the contrary, Trump\u2019s OSHA moved forward with publishing employer injury and illness data on a publicly searchable database.<\/p>\n

\u200bOSHA is also actively enforcing both the recordkeeping and anti-retaliation elements of the rule, and OSHA even promulgated a site-specific targeting program (SST-16 Plan) based on employer 300A data collected under the E-Recordkeeing Rule. \u00a0Even more enforcement of the rule is expected 2021 as the Biden Administration takes the reins, and a new site-specific targeting plan is likely on the horizon. Under the new Biden Administration, it is also highly likely the Rule will be amended again to restore its original intent to collect of 300 logs and 301 incident reports.<\/p>\n

OSHA Issues During Acquisitions and Divestitures<\/strong><\/a><\/h1>\n

Presented by\u00a0Aaron Gelb<\/a><\/u>,\u00a0Micah Smith<\/a><\/u>, and\u00a0Dan Deacon<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n

\u200bOSHA compliance issues have been long ignored in the due diligence process for mergers, acquisitions and divestitures.\u00a0 With OSHA\u2019s new focus on follow-up inspections and Repeat citations, and expanding the concept of successor OSHA liability, it is a topic that should no longer be left out of the due diligence process.\u00a0This webinar<\/a><\/u>\u00a0will 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.<\/p>\n

Presented by\u00a0Eric J. Conn<\/a><\/u>,\u00a0Micah Smith<\/a><\/u>, and\u00a0Beeta Lashkari<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n

\u200bAfter the Obama\/Biden Administration\u2019s efforts to \u201cmodernize\u201d the way the government regulates chemical process safety, we saw much those endeavors rolled back, stalled, or amended as the Trump Administration advanced its de-regulatory agenda.\u00a0 As the regulatory ping-pong ball bounces back the other direction the regulated community is left to wonder again what will come of OSHA\u2019s and EPA\u2019s plans for process safety.\u200b<\/p>\n

As the Biden Administration begins to make its mark in this arena, we will be tracking rulemaking and enforcement from OSHA, EPA and the CSB, and whether and how far these agencies will go back to the previous policies to modernize the applicable regulations.\u00a0\u200b<\/p>\n

This webinar<\/a><\/u>\u00a0will review the status and likely future of OSHA\u2019s PSM Standard and EPA\u2019s RMP Rule, as well as other major process safety developments from the federal government, state governments, and industry groups.\u200b<\/p>\n

Recap of Year One of the Biden Administration<\/a><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Presented by\u00a0Kara Maciel<\/a><\/u>,\u00a0Eric J. Conn,<\/a><\/u>\u00a0and\u00a0Nick Scala<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n

\u200bAs we transitioned to a new Biden Administration, questions swirled about what the Department of Labor would look like in a Biden Administration, and we all made predictions about how DOL\u2019s priorities would shift, who would be appointed to key positions, what would come of Trump-era DOL policies. Now, a year into the Biden Administration, we will check on those predictions and take stock of the lay of the land at Biden\u2019s DOL, evaluating how the Department and its agencies have changed in 2021, from the status of presidential appointments at DOL, EEOC, NLRB, OSHA, and MSHA, to those agencies\u2019 rulemaking, policymaking, and enforcement activity.\u00a0 And of course, we will make more predictions about what employers can expect from the Biden Administration\u2019s DOL over the remainder of this presidential term.<\/p>\n
