History

Historical Context

President Richard Nixon signed the Occupational Safety and Health Act on December 29 1970, creating OSHA to enforce safety standards and whistle-blower protections. Studies later showed OSHA inspections cut injury rates by 9.4%. Today, JPMorgan’s internal review of Chirayu Rana’s assault allegation against executive Lorna Hajdini reflects that same regulatory framework, warning firms of federal scrutiny for unresolved workplace violence.
