Staffing companies should prepare for uptick in OSHA investigations (Staffing Industry Review)

As the US gets back to normal following the pandemic, the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration is also returning to business as usual — and this means more inspections and citations in the near future, write John Polson and J. Russell Blakey in the latest issue of Staffing Industry Review. Polson is chairman and managing partner at law firm Fisher Phillips, and Blakey is an associate attorney at Fisher Phillips. “Staffing firms must take particular note of these increased inspections due to OSHA’s use of its Temporary Worker Initiative to assess whether staffing firms should be cited for violations at host employer worksites,” they write.
