Our lawyers help clients comply with an increasingly complex web of chemical safety and worker safety requirements, including Process Safety Management regulations, the Risk Management Program (RMP), and the General Duty Clause. We have significant experience aiding clients with safety inspections by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and U.S. Occupational Health & Safety Administration (OSHA) personnel. Our accident response work often involves high-profile incidents that spur overlapping investigations by EPA, OSHA, the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board, and state authorities.
Our team proactively identifies and mitigates risks before they become crisis scenarios. When difficult situations arise, Sidley supports clients with our understanding of regulatory obligations, management of multifaceted government investigations, handling of physical and electronic evidentiary issues, and advising on Congressional inquiries and public relations. Alongside this multidisciplinary approach, we also assist clients by developing complementary strategies on related civil litigation issues, ranging from wrongful death to property damage.
