Please join us for our OSHA Inspection Workshop. This workshop will help demystify the OSHA inspection process by explaining why inspections occur, how to properly handle an inspection, your rights as an employer, how to avoid or minimize violations noted during the inspection, and what happens when citations and penalties are issued. Food and refreshments will be provided.
Most employers are not prepared for an OSHA inspection. Lack of preparation can increase the potential for violations, penalties, and reputational damage.
Â
OSHA publishes information for employers detailing their rights during inspections, but few employers are even aware this information exists. Reading the booklet provided by a compliance officer at the time of the inspection is too late.
OSHA penalties are now up to $16,131 per violation for common citations and up to $161,323 for repeat or willful violations! Many violations discovered during inspections stem from employees not following safety rules and most employers are unaware of how they can avoid citations resulting from their employees unsafe behaviors.
Industry leading employers know how to respond to an OSHA inspection, develop written OSHA inspection protocols, and train designated personnel how to respond. This can prevent costly penalties and reputational damage caused by the posting of inspection details on the OSHA website. Don’t wait until after you’ve been inspected to learn what to do.
