The Department of Labor issued a notice of proposed rulemaking to clarify regulations regarding authorized employee representatives during Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) compliance officer inspections.
The proposal would reaffirm the right to authorize an employee or nonemployee third party to accompany OSHA compliance officers during physical workplace inspections “if the compliance officer determines the third party is reasonably necessary to conduct an effective and thorough inspection,” the Labor Department said in a press release Tuesday.
