Safety Perspectives From Region 6: OSHA and the NLRB Working Together

In this episode of our Safety Perspectives From Region 6 podcast, Frank Davis and John Surma review the October 31, 2023, memorandum of understanding entered into by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Frank and John discuss the impact of the agencies’ agreement to share information and to potentially conduct coordinated investigations and inspections. They also offer practical tips to help prepare employers for this new framework, including how effective and timely communication with employees may foster positive employee relations and lessen the chance of complaints that can lead to government investigations.
