Rescission of Coordinated Enforcement Regulations

Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, Wage and Hour Division, Occupational Safety and Health Administration — observed across 2 documents over 426 days. Use the source documents below before deciding whether this affects your business.

In plain English

The Department of Labor is canceling rules that required its wage and safety agencies to coordinate their inspections and investigations. Small business owners should now prepare for independent visits from different DOL agencies and keep organized records, since each will investigate separately without sharing findings.
