Construction accidents can occur even on well-managed job sites, making OSHA investigations and enforcement actions an important reality for contractors, employers, and the attorneys who advise them. This CLE program provides a practical overview of the legal obligations and strategic considerations that arise when a workplace incident triggers OSHA involvement.

Attendees will examine OSHA's accident reporting requirements, including which incidents must be reported and the deadlines for doing so. The program also explores what to expect during an OSHA inspection or investigation, the rights and responsibilities of employers and contractors throughout the process, and best practices for responding to agency inquiries.

In addition, the course reviews OSHA citations and the procedures for challenging them, including the strict deadlines for filing a notice of contest, the administrative process that follows, and common defenses that may be available. Designed for attorneys who represent construction industry clients or advise businesses on workplace safety and compliance, this program offers practical guidance for managing OSHA investigations, minimizing liability, and protecting clients' interests after a construction site accident.
