The litigious nature of the modern economy requires business owners to be particularly vigilant about workplace safety. Businesses need to ensure that preventative policies and procedures are in place to comply with the myriad of applicable federal, state, and local government regulations, such as those promulgated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and Medicare and Medicaid.

At MNB Meridian Law, our attorneys assist business clients in establishing the necessary workplace policies and practices and in being prepared to defend challenges to those policies and practices, including resulting litigation. We can help your company prevent unsafe conditions and assist if regulatory inspectors arrive and enforcement ensues after a workplace incident occurs.

The attorneys in our Public Health and Workplace Safety practice group provide practical guidance to help your business develop, maintain, and monitor effective workplace safety and health management policies, procedures, and programs. Together with our affiliated business and project management consultancy, we offer a full range of business management services that meld together the best of business management and the law, protecting your business from all sides.

Prevention, Preparedness and Enforcement

Our attorneys assist with developing, implementing, monitoring, and updating your company’s safety and health management programs. With our affiliated business consultancy using the best practices of CMMI and PMI methodologies, we support self-audits, reviews, inspections, training, recordkeeping, and integration of safety programs with other employment policies and procedures, to minimize related civil liability and repeat government oversight.

While we prefer to ensure that your company is prepared for any event, our attorneys are also available to assist with critical events that place the company’s future in jeopardy. Given the stakes, trusting your future to an insurance carrier’s attorney places your future in someone else’s decision-making hands.

Response to Government Citations and Inspections

When the government issues a citation or initiates litigation, MNB Meridian Law attorneys help your company evaluate the facts and work to minimize your exposure to penalties, fines, and (in very rare cases) criminal charges.

Our attorneys are available to assist with:

• Developing, implementing, and monitoring preventative policies and procedures to comply with federal, state, and local government regulations
• Conducting and supplementing internal investigations to identify the who, what, why, and how of workplace and safety incidents
• Responding to and minimizing civil liability and repeated government oversight
• Using the best practices of CMMI and PMI methodologies to support self-audits, reviews, inspections, training, recordkeeping, and integration of safety programs with other employment policies and procedures
