OSHA Anti-Retaliation Rule Will Take Effect December 1

This rule goes into effect December 1. During the period between December 1 and a court ruling on the merits of the case, employers that have  post-accident drug testing and incident-based safety incentive programs potentially are subject to citations by OSHA.

Employers will have to choose whether to modify their existing programs or wait until the court decides on the legality of the OSHA rule before making any changes.

If you have any questions regarding the rule or other workplace safety issues, please feel free to contact your HRI Representative.
