OSHA Litigation
Zarwin Baum’s OSHA team is well experienced in dealing with the U.S. Department of Labor in its investigation of reportable incidents such as fatalities and catastrophic injuries. We are able to provide a rapid 24/7 response to any OSHA investigation or inspection, coordinating with the client and acting on its behalf in advance of, during and subsequent to any interaction with OSHA. We have represented businesses in a range of industries during OSHA investigations in relation to the occurrence of an accident and have access to a number of experts with a broad range of experience in OSHA regulations and site safety. Our team can assist in the OSHA investigation process, present employee witnesses for OSHA interviews, respond to any OSHA requests for information and subpoenas, as well as coordinate any site and/or evidence inspection.
In the event of an OSHA citation or penalty, our team can work on behalf of their client in the OSHA citation abatement process. The OSHA attorneys work to reduce the associated monetary penalty, modify citation classifications, and even have specific citations deleted or vacated altogether. When such citations cannot be resolved informally through negotiation, our team is able to litigate those citations against the Department of Labor to have them vacated, modified or reduced.
The team is able to assist businesses regionally as well as nationally since the OSHA guidelines are federal and apply nationwide.
We welcome the opportunity to work with you and your company on any OSHA related matters.
