Tuesday, April 6, 2021 On March 22, 2021, Marty Walsh, the two-term Boston mayor, was confirmed as the Labor Secretary by the United States Senate in a 68-29 vote.  He becomes the first union leader to run the Department of Labor (the “DOL”) in over four decades. Workplace safety will be one area that we can expect to undergo significant change under Walsh.  Recently, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) released a new National Emphasis Program (“NEP”) that permits OSHA to conduct programmed inspections of the risk of worker exposure to COVID-19.  The employers covered by the NEP are those OSHA considers as those where employees have a higher likelihood of close-contact exposure.  The NEP includes language regarding employer outreach and compliance assistance; but, it is clear the primary emphasis will be on inspection targeting.
