U.S. Supreme Court Declines to Hear Ohio Company's Challenge to OSHA's Authority

Jul 2, 2024, 02:00 PM

The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear a legal challenge to the authority of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The case, brought by an Ohio company, sought to challenge the power of the federal workplace safety regulator. The decision, made on Tuesday, avoids another legal effort to reduce the authority of federal agencies and leaves OSHA's regulatory power intact. This refusal to hear the industry-backed appeal also prevents potential doubts on hundreds of workplace-safety standards.
