False claims, antitrust, OSHA/safety and health, and commercial driver’s licenses are just a few of the top compliance laws for federal highway contractors.

Contractors certify many things and interact with a wide variety of governmental agencies. Similar to what occurred after the bid-rigging scandals, governmental scrutiny has increased because of a loss of trust.
So, my question to contractors is: Do you have a corporate compliance program designed to avoid purposeful or inadvertent violations of law by your employees?
What are the potential issues facing highway contractors? Here are my top ten
- False claims
- Antitrust
- EEO
- OSHA/safety and health
- DOT (commercial driver’s licenses)
- DBE
- Environmental
- Procurement and government contracting
- Finance and tax
- Labor/employment
