Podcast: Four Keys to a Safer Workplace

Jan. 28, 2025
Phillip Russell, a partner with Ogletree Deakins, offers his insights into what OSHA under a new Trump administration will be like, and offers suggestions on how companies can best work with OSHA.

All employers need to have four things in place for every workplace hazard, says Phillip Russell, partner at Ogletree Deakins, a legal firm specializing in labor and employment law:

1. Have a rule, a process or a procedure for every hazard.

2. Have robust training on each of those rules.

3. Have a compliance program.

4. Maintain discipline around these process.

In this conversation, which focuses on his predictions of what OSHA under Trump 2.0 will look like, Russell offers suggestions on how companies can work with OSHA to drive innovations in safety.
