Gary Auman, Director and Attorney with Dunlevey, Mahan & Furry from Dayton, Ohio provided two sessions at IISC’s Professional Development Conference last week concerning OSHA compliance.  During the sessions, a March 12, 2012 memo sent out by Richard E. Fairfax, the Deputy Assistant Secretary for OSHA to all Regional Administrators and Whistleblower Program Managers, was discussed.  Gary has provided this article addressing the memorandum to help IISC members understand possible changes may be needed with your company’s incentive programs.  I do want to point out that these are Gary Auman’s comments, not IISC’s.  IISC has not taken a position at this time and we will wait to see how OSHA intends to enforce this issue.
