OSHA will implement the pilot project in its Chicago and San Francisco regional offices, which together cover whistleblower investigations in Arizona, California, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, Ohio, and Wisconsin, as well as various Pacific Islands including the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam and American Samoa.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-size: 12px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, clean, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; color: #3e3d40; line-height: 15px;\">The pilot program will offer two voluntary methods of ADR: early resolution and mediation. When a whistleblower complaint is filed in one of the pilot regions, OSHA will inform the parties of their ADR options and provide a regional coordinator to work through these methods if requested. Under the early resolution process, parties would attempt to resolve a dispute before OSHA launches an investigation to determine the validity of the charges, pretext or potential violations. The mediation process would involve a neutral third party to help the parties resolve a dispute by mutual agreement.\u00a0<em style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline;\">See OSHA News Release<\/em>, October 2, 2012.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lexology.com\/library\/detail.aspx?g=4bd541d5-7666-4737-890e-a6924a4d4581&amp;utm_source=Lexology+Daily+Newsfeed&amp;utm_medium=HTML+email+-+Body+-+Federal+section&amp;utm_campaign=Lexology+subscriber+daily+feed&amp;utm_content=Lexology+Daily+Newsfeed+2012-10-24&amp;utm_term=\">OSHA to initiate ADR pilot project under whistleblower program &#8211; Lexology<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David Erickson and Mark Anstoetter &#8211; October 19, 2012 The U.S. Department of Labor\u2019s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has\u00a0announced\u00a0the launch of an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) pilot project for complaints filed with the agency\u2019s Whistleblower Protection Program.
