When Safety Impacts Litigation Beyond Cal/OSHA

Presented by Rachel Conn, Megan Shaked, and Andrea Chavez

Workplace safety and health matters can touch on litigation beyond an investigation and enforcement action by Cal/OSHA. A single workplace safety incident can implicate numerous laws, from privacy rights, anti-discrimination protections, general liability, accommodations issues, workers’ compensation matters, third-party litigation, and more. Employers who can identify these issues at an early stage are in the best position to get the support and resources they need to best manage throughout the life of a matter.

Participants in this webinar will learn about:

• The intersection of safety and health with numerous topics and how OSHA counsel can assist.
• The OSHA implications when injured employees file Serious & Willful claims in their workers compensation matters
• The impact of third-party litigation related to health and safety matters
• When other members of your organization may need a seat at the table beyond the usual players
• Challenges and best practices for responding when these varied topics intersect
