OSHA: Understanding the Implications of HB398 | WEBINAR

Join us for an essential webinar breaking down House Bill 398—a significant update to Kentucky’s Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA) program that could reshape how employers across the state manage workplace safety compliance.

Kentucky is one of 22 states with a state-run OSHA plan. HB 398 brings that plan closer in line with federal OSHA by prohibiting more stringent state rules and ensuring employers operating in multiple states can follow consistent safety standards—saving time, training costs, and confusion.

Key points include:
•    Standardized complaint deadlines and improved processes to reduce frivolous claims
•    Pausing abatement requirements until violations are adjudicated
•    A three-year limit on repeat citations
•    Recognition of “de minimis” (minor, non-penalized) violations
•    Legal fee recovery for successful appeals 

Whether you’re a safety manager, HR leader, in-house counsel, or business owner, this webinar will help you understand how these changes impact your responsibilities—and how to protect your company from unnecessary penalties and litigation.
