On the last day of ASSP’s in-person show in Austin, Jim Frederick, Acting Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health, spoke to attendees on COVID-19 and OSHA’s current priorities.
Many had hoped Frederick would attend the conference in person. When Blaine Krage, senior media relations specialist at ASSP, announced Frederick would be giving a presentation he recorded on Friday, there was an audible groan of disappointment from the crowd. However, Frederick did appear live via Zoom after the half-hour recorded update to do a question-and-answer segment with Krage.
