"An indispensable reference covering the full breadth of OSHA issues. This comprehensive volume should be within close reach of all practitioners who advise clients on occupational safety and health issues." -Hon. Timothy F. Cleary, Former Chairman, Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission
The Occupational Safety and Health Act applies to virtually every employer in the nation. This fully annotated volume--designed to speed your research when OSHA problems arise--provides complete coverage from the points of view of employers, employees, the courts, and the agencies responsible for enforcement.

A Practical Guide to The Occupational Safety and Health Act discusses subjects such as: the practical impact OSHA has on a business; how employers should respond to an OSHA inspection or enforcement proceeding; the right of employees to initiate and participate in inspections; appropriate challenges in rule-making and adjudication proceedings; and analysis of the statute and regulations to ascertain the rights of all parties. It includes coverage of: the possibility of criminal prosecution for OSHA violations and the degree to which an employer's "indifference" to violations can constitute "actual knowledge"; the doctrine of "unpreventable employee misconduct"; and the responsibility of architects, engineers and other professionals to ensure compliance with safety standards.
