Kelley Drye provides practical solutions and regulatory counseling to our clients on a broad range of industrial health and safety issues.

We represent companies and trade associations by engaging OSHA at all levels in its rulemaking process. By developing technically supportable and legally credible data and arguments, we have helped shape OSHA rules, such as Hazard Communication and Hexavalent Chromium Workplace Exposure Standards, in a way that protects our clients’ interests and workers’ health and safety.

Kelley Drye also has the experience necessary to assist clients in emergency response incidents.
