OSHA Defense & Workplace Safety Compliance
When a reportable injury occurs at your jobsite, or when Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) investigators arrive unexpectedly, every minute counts. At Andrews Myers, P.C., we provide rapid response and strategic defense against OSHA citations, helping construction companies across Texas protect their interests and maintain operations.
Rapid Response Team
When a serious workplace incident occurs, our emergency response team deploys immediately to your jobsite—often arriving before OSHA investigators. This rapid response capability has proven crucial for our clients across Texas, allowing us to:
- Secure the scene and preserve critical evidence
- Begin preliminary fact-finding while memories are fresh
- Guide initial employee interviews and statements
- Coordinate with first responders and law enforcement
- Prepare site personnel for potential OSHA interviews
- Document site conditions and safety measures in place at the time of the incident
Our attorneys understand that the first hours after an incident are critical. That’s why we maintain a 24/7 emergency response protocol, with experienced OSHA defense attorneys ready to deploy to any jobsite in Texas at a moment’s notice.
