About

Provided by Conn Maciel Carey

CMC's specialty Workplace Safety Practice features a deep bench of OSHA and MSHA-specialist attorneys who have extensive, hands-on experience in all aspects of OSHA law, at both the federal and state level. Our experience spans more than 160 collective years providing the full range of OSHA law services, including advising employers through the development and enhancement of their safety and health programs, navigating new safety and health issues, government inspections, enforcement actions, and compliance audits.


What sets CMC's OSHA Practice apart is that we know our clients’ businesses and industries well, and we know how the agencies work equally well, which positions us to recognize emerging legal and regulatory challenges our clients will face before they know it. Our OSHA practice is truly national in scope. Our principal office is in Washington, DC, so we can maintain close ties with the leadership in federal OSHA’s national office, but we have practiced extensively before every federal OSHA Regional Office and every approved State OSH Plan, including California and Michigan. We all have “go bags” packed in our offices, so between all of us in Washington, DC, and from our OSHA colleagues in Northern and Southern California, Chicago, and Columbus, OH, we can be anywhere in the country in no more than a few hours.
