More than 55 years after the Occupational Safety and Health Act transformed workplace safety in the United States, OSHA remains a central force in protecting workers and shaping employer responsibilities.

We discuss the agency’s successes, the role of the General Duty Clause, the realities behind recent debates about OSHA’s future, and what employers should expect from OSHA enforcement and policy initiatives today. We also examine the role of OSHA counsel in helping organizations navigate compliance, investigations, and emerging workplace safety risks.
