Recent Decision from the Review Commission discussing internal corporate engineering standards and published codes, process equipment and old codes and adequacy and timing for addressing PHA findings

OSHA Legislative Update, including PSM
Mr. Dreux is a former federal prosecutor and specializes in representing employers and trade associations in all aspects of OSHA. Over the last 25 years, Mark has defended employers in 37 fire and explosion incidents, 105 fatality investigations, and hundreds of citations alleging violations of the general duty clause, and OSHA standards, particularly PSM, LOTO, HAZCOM, emergency response, permit-required confined spaces, PPE, recordkeeping, and machine guarding. Mark has extensive experience counseling clients on OSHA's Refinery and Chemical National Emphasis Programs (NEPs). He has made presentations concerning key enforcement issues arising from NEP inspections, conducted NEP audits for employers under privilege, assisted employers to prepare for OSHA NEP inspections, conducted training on managing OSHA during NEP inspections, provided counseling on issues resulting from NEP inspections, and is currently defending several employers on NEP enforcement actions.
