On November 28th Texas US District Court Judge Sam Lindsay issued a 17 page Order denying employers groups a temporary injunction on OSHA’s revisions to its recordkeeping standard involving restrictions on safety incentives and drug testing on the grounds that the groups failed to show irreparable harm. The enforcement of the revised standard is set for December 1st. The Judge left open the door for employers to seek a permanent injunction once the new revisions go into effect.
