Safety Perspectives From the Dallas Region: 2024 OSHA Mid-Year Update

July 09, 2024

In this installment of our Safety Perspectives From the Dallas Region podcast series, shareholders Frank Davis (shareholder, Dallas) and John Surma (shareholder, Houston) discuss the new walkaround rule, its implementation and impact, and the current appeal against the rule’s enforcement that has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas. John and Frank also cover other timely topics, including ergonomics, the heat national emphasis program, the emergency response standard, and a recent case decided by the Supreme Court of the United States that may have implications for employer rights with respect to OSHA citations and civil penalties.
