Understand the basics of OSHA powers and enforcement initiatives.
When it comes to occupational health and safety, 2026 is shaping up to be a significant year in terms of OSHA enforcement, rulemaking, and new initiatives. As the United States heads into a deregulatory phase with congressional gridlock as it heads to the midterms, regulatory activity and enforcement have become a flashpoint politically, potentially threatening the survival of OSHA and NIOSH.
This session provides a primer on the basics of OSHA powers and enforcement initiatives. It will outline the priorities for the Trump Administration, deregulatory initiatives and the forecast for new rules. Pending legislation to abolish the agencies OSHA and NIOSH and rescind the 1970 OSH Act will be discussed. The regulatory activities of the Mine Safety & Health Administration (MSHA), impacting contractors at mine sites, will also be addressed.
