Description
In Marshall v. Barlow's, Inc., the Supreme Court held that nonconsensual OSHA inspections may be conducted under section 8(a) only pursuant to a warrant. The decision has raised numerous questions about the ability of the Secretary of Labor to conduct necessary inspections, the probable cause required to obtain a warrant, and the prudence of an employer's requiring a warrant. This Article traces the antecedents of the Barlow's case, analyzes the opinion itself, and addresses the implications of Barlow's for inspection procedures under OSHA.
