Following another close national election, President Trump returns to the White House for a second term, and resumes control over the vast Executive Branch bureaucracy, including the Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Now we turn the page from four extraordinary years at OSHA under a Biden/Harris Administration, where we saw record-setting enforcement and a flurry of new rulemaking, and watch the pendulum swing as control at OSHA transitions to the Trump/Vance Administration. However, just how much, how quickly, and in what ways OSHA’s priorities will swing remain to be seen. So, now is the perfect time to take a close look at what we learned from and about OSHA during the last few very eventful years, and more importantly, look ahead and assess what we can expect from OSHA the next four years, as President Trump installs his own team at the Department of Labor.

Conn Maciel Carey LLP’s complimentary 2025 OSHA Webinar Series, which includes monthly programs (sometimes more often) put on by the OSHA-specialist attorneys in the firm’s national OSHA Practice Group, is designed to give employers insight into developments at OSHA during this period of unpredictability and significant change.
