Get involved early.
Work with leadership and safety personnel to understand the incident, identify immediate priorities and coordinate engagement with OSHA.
Build the factual record.
Help preserve evidence, coordinate technical experts, prepare personnel for interviews and manage document and information requests.
Develop the defense.
Evaluate the factual and legal basis for proposed citations alongside their operational consequences. Develop practical corrective measures, settlement options and litigation strategy.
Stay through resolution.
Handle citation challenges and litigation when necessary, with continuity between the investigation and the defense.
Preparation & training
Before an incident.
Customized training helps leadership and safety teams prepare for documentation, employee interviews and the decisions that follow a workplace incident.

Gavin served on Halliburton’s trial team in the Deepwater Horizon litigation, helping develop and present technical evidence concerning the cause of the blowout.
His work has since extended across oil and gas, construction, railroads, manufacturing and other industrial operations.
Through EIR, Gavin brings that experience to the full course of an OSHA matter, from the initial investigation and evidence preservation through citation analysis, settlement and litigation.
