Stevens & Lee assists cultivators, manufacturers, distributors, retailers and other cannabis industry-affiliated businesses in meeting and navigating federal and state Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations. Having assisted industry clients in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland, we understand the unique challenges of safeguarding employees’ health and well-being in an evolving regulatory landscape.
The Stevens & Lee team has significant nationwide experience assisting clients in highly regulated industries with OSHA-related issues, citations and workplace safety plans and health policies. We have appeared before OSHA administrative law judges across the U.S. and have worked with senior OSHA officials in the U.S. Department of Labor Office.
Cannabis clients can rely on our team to address potential issues before they lead to inspections, violations or injuries. Our team assists with creating and implementing OSHA-compliant health and safety programs, including training programs, that are specifically tailored to a client’s operational environment. We also provide comprehensive workplace safety audits that help clients identify potential hazards, from chemical exposure and equipment safety to ergonomic risks in cultivation or manufacturing facilities.
In the event of OSHA inspections and citations, we guide cannabis businesses through inspection procedures and defend them against penalties. Backed by a depth of industry-specific experience, we help clients pursue pragmatic strategies for mitigating liabilities, negotiating settlements and ensuring compliance for continued business growth. Our team’s expertise also extends to assisting with OSHA investigations and emergency responses in the event of fatalities or other catastrophic events.
