April 02, 2026Partner Jason Mills is featured throughout this article discussing the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA’s) new Safety Champions Program, which is a US Department of Labor(DOL) initiative that encourages employers to proactively reduce the risk of injuries, illnesses, and fatalities.
Jason notes that employers considering participating in the program should first understand OSHA’s citation history and seek clarity on how it will view program participation and enforcement actions, and that “it’s more about cooperation and less about more hardline enforcement.”
