As the dust settles on the 2024 election, potential changes in OSHA's enforcement and rulemaking priorities are on the horizon.

The attorneys in CMC’s OSHA Workplace Safety Group provide a full analysis of these potential changes in their latest article on the OSHA Defense Report Blog. https://ow.ly/VHoV50U5kQB #OSHA #CalOSHA #WorkplaceSafety #Election2024
