Overview
- Nevada OSHA confirmed that federal OSHA received a CASPA complaint and opened a review into whether the state plan is at least as effective as the federal program.
- Nevada has 30 days to respond to the complaint, and OSHA guidance says such reviews typically conclude in fewer than 60 days.
- Fortune previously reported that three willful citations issued after two firefighters were burned were withdrawn within 24 hours of a meeting arranged with senior officials, with the case file lacking documentation and a diary entry later removed from a public record.
- Nevada OSHA and overseeing state agencies say the citations did not meet legal requirements and note that the governor’s office routinely receives business complaints.
- The handling has drawn pushback from lawyers and lawmakers, including a demand letter from Rep. Dina Titus, as separate records described illegal wastewater dumping by the company in Las Vegas.
