Now that the 2024 election dust has settled, it looks like OSHA could be heading for some big shifts under the new Trump administration. With a likely push toward less federal oversight and more flexibility for businesses, the way workplace safety is handled could change — but that doesn’t mean you can relax just yet. ?? What This Means: ?? Fewer inspections and lighter penalties — but more pressure on businesses to self-regulate. ?? Trump nominated a pro-labor Republican to lead the Department of Labor — could this mean a different approach this time around? ?? Unions and labor groups won’t stay quiet if they feel worker safety is at risk. ?? For Printing Operations: ? Stay on top of changing regulations — things are going to move fast. ? Keep your safety programs strong, even if the rules loosen up. ? Be ready for inspections — they’re not disappearing anytime soon. The bottom line: Just because OSHA might ease up doesn’t mean you should. A strong safety culture will protect your team and your business. ?? Want the full breakdown? https://lnkd.in/ekdhTfTq

Audrey Jamieson, President of Marketing Kitchen, didn’t exactly take the obvious path. From waitressing and ad sales to running a successful print and direct mail company, Audrey’s story is about the quiet grit it takes to make things happen — especially in a male-dominated industry. In this episode of Her Imprint, Audrey talks about: ? The messy, non-linear path into printing ? Why leading a team of women feels different ? The moments that almost broke her (and how she got through) ? The advice she’d give her younger self Listen if you’ve ever wondered how to hold your ground — or if you’re figuring it out as you go. ?? Listen now https://lnkd.in/eXUpzM6A ??
