Perkins Coie’s Worker Safety & Health attorneys have been assisting clients for more than 25 years in worker safety and health matters. We advise clients to take a proactive and preventive approach to compliance matters. When action is needed, we represent our clients in enforcement proceedings brought under federal and state Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) programs. Representing a broad range of businesses, we advise in matters involving COVID-19 compliance and response, general compliance counseling, due diligence investigations, self-audits, defense of civil investigation and criminal compliance matters, appeals of contested safety and health citations, and representation in appellate matters.

Our attorneys represent clients in the broadest scope of matters. When catastrophic injuries, hospitalizations, or worker fatalities occur, our attorneys can provide assistance in the most sensitive workplace investigations. We have litigated before the federal review commissions, state OSHA appeals boards, and various state administrative courts. Our experience also includes advising and counseling regarding legislative and rulemaking proceedings, interpretation and application of worker safety and health standards, responding to whistleblower and anti-retaliation proceedings, and the preparation and pursuit of variance applications.

Perkins Coie’s federal and state worker safety and health practice is nationwide in scope, including but not limited to Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Washington, and Wisconsin.
