OSHA-Compliant Discipline for Unsafe Workers
On-Demand Recording
A one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t cut it when you’re guiding workers toward desirable behavior and away from misconduct.
Unfortunately, whether your workers are more motivated by the carrot or the stick, there are guidelines employers need to follow – or you risk costly fines from OSHA.
If you’re ready to ensure your methods for employee discipline are OSHA-compliant, this workshop is for you.
This 60-minute program will teach you the latest OSHA positions on disciplining unsafe workers, drug testing of injured workers, whistleblower issues, and more.
The speaker will also address key types of disciplinary approaches including PIPs, LTAs, progressive systems. You’ll learn the best methods to prioritize safety and health in your workplace, and walk away ready to:
- Review and revise company discipline programs, including PIP and LTA elements
- Determine if existing substance abuse testing programs are compliant under OSHA’s prevailing policy
- Identify best methods for supervisors to lead by example and serve as mentors rather than disciplinarians
- Discern if current training on workers’ rights and supervisors’ responsibilities is adequate
- And more!
You’ll learn all about:
- OSHA guidance that considers some types of discipline and drug testing violations of workers’ rights
- How employee “Weingarten” rights are currently being interpreted by the NLRB
- What changes OSHA made to its “incentive program” policy - and how those could be altered in the future
- What the consequences are for retaliating against an injured worker through discipline
- Which disciplinary actions can trigger an OSHA recordkeeping audit
Address concerns that come with ensuring a safe workplace, including:
- How to structure effective, compliant programs for employee discipline
- How to avoid expensive OSHA penalties and an “egregious employer” classification
- Ways to feel confident that your safety incentive programs are permitted by OSHA
- Review and revise company discipline programs, including PIP and LTA elements
- What to do if a worker who is discharged after an accident files litigation
Answers to your most important questions about disciplining unsafe workers, including:
- What are the consequences if OSHA determines that a worker has been disciplined improperly?
- Which situations still allow drug testing of injured and uninjured workers following a workplace incident?
- How do Performance Improvement Programs (PIPs) differ from Last Chance Agreements (LCAs)?
- Can incentive programs that provide a bonus or other prize for a work team that goes a year without any injuries be viewed as “discipline” or a violation by OSHA and trigger a citation?
