Conn Maciel Carey LLP’s Southeast Workplace Safety (OSHA & MSHA) and Labor & Employment Law Summit is an in-person program conducted by attorneys in CMC’s national OSHA & Workplace Safety, MSHA & Mine Safety, and Labor & Employment Practice Groups, to update Southeast employers on important developments involving workplace safety and health and employment law issues across the Region.
Learn How to Navigate the Rapidly Evolving Southeast Regulatory Landscape
The Southeast has become one of the fastest-growing economic regions in the US, bringing with it new opportunities—and new compliance challenges—for employers. States across the region are experiencing significant population growth as workers and businesses relocate from higher-cost markets. Major corporate investments, new manufacturing facilities, and expanding distribution hubs are transforming the region into a national center for business growth.
With this expansion comes increased regulatory scrutiny and evolving workplace safety and employment requirements. Federal OSHA and MSHA and State OSH Plans in the region continue to focus enforcement resources on industries that dominate the Southeast economy, including warehousing, construction, critical minerals, manufacturing, petrochemical, food processing, and agribusiness. At the same time, employers must navigate changes in labor and employment law driven by new federal initiatives, evolving enforcement priorities, and decisions from federal courts and the National Labor Relations Board.
Our Southeast Workplace Safety (OSHA & MSHA) and Labor & Employment Law Summit will provide employers with critical insight into what to expect in the coming months and years, including:
- OSHA and MSHA enforcement trends and developments.
- A deep dive into the MSHA Respirable Crystalline Silica Rule.
- Federal and state OSHA rulemaking updates, including the latest on Heat Injury and Illness Prevention, updated Hazard Communication requirements, and Worker Walkaround Rules.
- Compliance strategies for the “Southeast Giants”—warehousing, construction, critical minerals, manufacturing, petrochemical, food processing, and agribusiness.
- Navigating the specific worker safety and labor and employment trends impacting Georgia, the Carolinas, Tennessee, Alabama, and Florida.
- The intersection of pay practices and health/safety requirements.
The program will also highlight practical strategies and best practices to help employers maintain compliance while operating in one of the nation’s most dynamic and fast-growing business environments.
We will kick off with the MSHA track in the morning, transitioning to OSHA and Labor & Employment in the afternoon. Attendees are welcome to join us for the full day or select individual sessions that interest you.
