Navigating EHS in a Shifting Regulatory Landscape with Chip Duffie
In this episode of Safeonomics, we sit down with Chip Duffie to explore how political shifts impact environmental, health, and safety (EHS) regulations—and what that means for safety professionals.
With the change of administration, EHS enforcement may face major changes. Will deregulation empower companies to take control of safety, or will it create new risks and uncertainties? Chip shares his insights on what businesses should expect, how safety professionals can stay ahead, and whether less enforcement makes EHS professionals more valuable or more expendable.
We tackle big questions, including:
🔥 What can a president actually do to reshape safety regulations?
🔥 If OSHA weakens, will state regulations, insurers, or industry groups fill the gap?
🔥 Should safety professionals fear deregulation—or see it as an opportunity?
🔥 How can companies maintain strong EHS programs without federal oversight?
No matter what happens in Washington, one thing is clear: safety remains a business-critical priority. Tune in for a deep dive into the future of EHS and what professionals can do to stay ahead in uncertain times.
