Agriculture Law Committee Meeting

John Izzo attended the Ohio State Bar Association’s Agriculture Law Committee Meeting on January 17, 2014.  One of the discussions during the meeting was about an OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) inspection that took place at an Ohio farm.  Generally, farms that employ less than ten non-immediate family members are exempt from OSHA regulations.  However, there is an Opinion Letter from June 2011 that may give OSHA jurisdiction over farms that have grain storage facilities and have post-harvest activity with respect to grain.  A similar inspection may have occurred in Nebraska as well.
