On this episode Ted and Barb are welcoming certified OSHA

strategic Labor and Employment Lawyers for Businesses Phillip Russell and Dee

Anna Hays. Phillip and Dee Anna are “go-to” OSHA lawyers who have handled

hundreds of cases for construction, manufacturing, health care and other types

of employers. They are both with the International Labor and Employment Law

firm Ogletree Deakins. They are both Board Certified by the Florida Bar in

Labor and Employment. Phillip has personally handled over 100 fatality cases,

mostly in construction. Dee Anna has extensive experience in manufacturing and

health-care.

According to Phillip and Dee Anna, the most important thing

outside the legal issues is business issue. As a safety professional you must

understand the business. Understand how the business operates, how it’s funded,

and how will you, as a safety professional, impact the quality and success of

that job. Think about what the citation means to your business. When

interacting with OSHA, make an effort to build relationship, try to take every

opportunity to show OSHA that you and your company take safety seriously.
