In this installment of Ogletree Deakins’ Safety Basics podcast series, John Surma (shareholder, Houston) is joined by Robert Rodriguez (shareholder, Sacramento) to discuss the important process of workplace safety audits, specifically focusing on voluntary self-audits. In their discussion, Robert (who is co-chair of Ogletree’s Workplace Violence Prevention Practice Group) and John emphasize the value and benefits of these audits, such as the ability to identify potential hazards, ensure compliance, and enhance safety culture. They also address key considerations for maintaining confidentiality and privilege throughout the audit process.
