SAN FRANCISCO, CA (September 12, 2024) – Nationwide employment law firm Jackson Lewis P.C. is pleased to announce San Francisco Principal Joshua M. Henderson has been appointed leader of the firm’s national Workplace Safety and Health group. With extensive experience in navigating compliance standards and interpretations of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), and state and local agencies, Josh is well-positioned to lead the group into its next phase of growth.
 

“As California continues to play a pivotal role in workplace safety and health, driven by its rigorous regulatory environment and high industry standards, Josh’s appointment comes at a crucial time,” said Firm Chair Kevin Lauri. “California’s proactive approach, including the stringent regulations of the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) and the demands of its technology and healthcare sectors, emphasizes the importance of having Josh in this leadership role. I’m confident that under Josh’s guidance, our Workplace Safety and Health group will continue to lead the way for our clients, providing the strategic and tailored advice that sets Jackson Lewis apart.” 

Josh represents employers across various industries in labor and employment litigation and counseling matters. His national OSHA practice includes providing training and strategic advice on compliance with workplace safety and health regulations under both federal and state laws, as well as defending employers in OSHA litigation across the United States. Josh is also a recognized thought leader in workplace safety and health. Additionally, he handles complex employment litigation matters, including wage and hour class actions, collective actions, Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) claims, and defenses against whistleblowing, discrimination, and sexual harassment claims.

We’re dedicated to staying ahead of regulatory changes and tackling this complex field, which in turn will keep Jackson Lewis at the forefront of the industry.”
