Practical Data Applications
Federal Acquisition Regulations require contracting officers to consider a bidder's history of labor law violations when making responsibility determinations. A discussion of these requirements can be reviewed at www.oshadata.com/FARFinal.htm. Many state and municipal governments have adopted so-called "No Sweat" initiatives which require bidders on public contracts to demonstrate they will comply with certain labor laws. Our compliance history reports can identify intentional omissions in contractor pre-bid submittals. Also, temporary employment agencies assume workers compensation insurance responsibilities for their customers. Screening temporary workplaces for regulatory violations may reduce workers compensation claims or exposure to potential litigation.
Recent regulatory violators represent an excellent prospect list for a host of goods and services. These include safety or industrial hygiene equipment, consulting, training and publishing.
Our databases can assist attorneys involved in labor law, products liability, commercialand personal injury litigation. Our services can be supplemented with technical field surveys, advice, regulatory interpretation and expert witness testimony.
Corporate regulatory compliance data maintained by the government may be inaccurate or outdated. These mistakes can unfairly target your company for further investigation, adversely impact stockholder relations, create unwarranted negative publicity or affect insurance premiums. Corporate regulatory violation data is available in dBase file format and can be used by in-house staff for tracking and verification. Similar data on specified competitiors may assist your planners in correcting or anticipating potential problem areas within your industry.
Television, radio and print media can obtain quick background information for late breaking news stories, feature articles or investigative reports.
Business buyers can benefit from knowing the types of regulatory problems a seller may have had such as unpaid penalties.
