In this episode of our Safety Perspectives From Region 6 podcast series, shareholders John Surma (Houston) and Frank Davis (Dallas) discuss the new “walkaround” rule that the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recently issued. John and Frank specifically cover the history and purpose of the rule, including whether third parties, such as unions and union representatives, can have access to the workplace during inspections. In addition, Frank and John discuss potential challenges and practical considerations for employers in light of the new rule.
