Disclosure: Vinson & Elkins LLP, whose attorneys contribute to this blog in various capacities, is among the counsel to the petitioner in this case.
Issue: Whether the Occupational Safety and Health Act “preempts all state occupational safety and health laws" relating to issue covered by federal standards “unless they are included in the state plan,” as the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit has held; or whether a state may employ supplemental enforcement mechanisms for workplace safety standards even if not included in the state plan, as the Supreme Court of California held in this case.
