The Year Ahead: OSHA Outlook 2018

摘要

DURING THE OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION (OSHA) semi-annual meeting, the agency unveiled its regulatory agenda. This year, OSHA is taking up fewer initiatives than it has in recent history. Additionally, OSHA has postponed compliance and effective dates of some recently enacted regulations. Work on some standards has been abandoned altogether. The agency hinted at a few regulatory modifications that may come down the pike in the near future. However, one year into President Trump's term, there is still uncertainty on direction, compliance and enforcement.
