Melissa Bailey focuses her practice on occupational safety and health issues. She litigates OSHA cases before federal and state agencies and courts, and also represents employers during government inspections and investigations. Her practice also includes providing compliance advice and conducting privileged audits on complex workplace safety issues. Melissa represents employers in a wide range of industries, including electric utilities, chemical manufacturing/refining, retail, food processing, construction, and drug manufacturing. Melissa also regularly represents clients before OSHA in connection with rulemaking and policy formation. She has testified before Congress regarding OSHA issues, and has advocated for management interests with regard to OSHA enforcement and compliance policies.

Melissa has practiced occupational safety and health law for over 20 years and, as a result, she understands the legal issues as well as the practical issues confronting employers. She routinely assesses both the current and future liability that may result from significant OSHA citations, and identifies the most effective approach – whether that is a strategic settlement or litigation – in each case.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

"Melissa's responsiveness is unmatched, and knows my business so well we consider a part of our internal team."

MY CLIENT PHILOSOPHY

"My practice focuses on workplace safety, including responding to workplace accidents and even fatalities. Given the issues and emotions that can arise in that context, my clients and I have forged close relationships that often transcend the typical client-lawyer arrangement. This human element along with the ability to put myself in the client’s shoes by providing practical advice that fits the company’s business needs have shaped how I approach client service."
