The Rules Have Changed
An Interactive Seminar That Will Prepare You For OSHA’s New Effort To Increase Penalties for Safety and Environmental Violations

OSHA has recently formed an informal alliance with the Department of Justice as well as the EPA to enforce broader penalties and criminal prosecution against OSHA violations. Employers will no longer be able to take these violations and investigations lightly. Join Patton Boggs to discuss these recent developments.

Topics will include:

• Impacts of the recently formed informal alliance between OSHA, the Department of Justice and the EPA.
• OSHA’s purpose to use the EPA's broader criminal penalties to expand:
  • The situations subject to criminal penalties
  • The range of person on which they can be imposed
  • The punishment imposed on OSHA violators
• Practical advice for avoiding the worst consequences
