In this episode of Safety Consultant with Sheldon Primus, we explore the potential reversal of the Chevron deference and what it could mean for OSHA and EPA compliance in a future Trump administration. The Chevron deference, a legal doctrine that has historically given federal agencies the power to interpret ambiguous laws, has shaped workplace safety and environmental regulations for decades. But with the Supreme Court reconsidering this principle, what happens next?
We discuss:
✔️ What the Chevron deference is and why it matters
✔️ How its reversal could impact OSHA’s ability to enforce new safety standards
✔️ The effects on the upcoming Heat Stress Standard and environmental regulations
✔️ What businesses can do to navigate this uncertain regulatory future
This episode is essential for safety consultants, business leaders, and compliance professionals looking to stay ahead of upcoming legal and regulatory changes.
