OSHA Defense
John Groark, Partner
Clausen Miller attorneys represent and negotiate favorable outcomes for business clients upon receipt of OSHA citations and proposed penalties. We assist our clients through every stage of an investigation by OSHA compliance officers. Such assistance starts by responding to the scene of a catastrophic accident at the earliest opportunity, monitoring the OSHA investigation and responding to OSHA requests for information. We have experience representing clients from the time the compliance officers first appear at the workplace, upon receipt of citations, at the conference with the area director, during discovery and trial, and on appeals before the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.
We have represented clients whose first exposure to OSHA is when the compliance officers are knocking on their door. We have also represented clients where multiple deaths occurred from a single catastrophic event in the workplace and OSHA citations and proposed penalties were in excess of $1 million. Our attorneys are experienced in negotiating beneficial resolutions of citations directly with OSHA area directors, thereby avoiding the costs and uncertainties of litigation. Clausen Miller has presented seminars to our business clients, their foremen and field personnel, concerning what action to take when OSHA appears at the workplace and we are available to respond to any questions you may have.
