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.
