This OSHA inspection webinar will cover aspects of an OSHA inspection from how establishments are targeted, how to limit the scope of an inspection or investigation, how not to self-incriminate, and when and how to appeal.

Why Should You Attend:

An OSHA inspection can be a costly and disruptive experience for any employer, especially if that employer has not dealt with the Agency, does not have an in-house safety professional or attorney.

Areas Covered in the Seminar:

The following general topics will be covered within the 10 Mistakes agenda:

- The OSHA jurisdiction that will inspect an establishment. About half of the states are under federal OSHA jurisdiction, and the remainder subject to independent state OSHA programs.

- Understanding the “probable cause” for the inspection is the key to limiting the scope of an inspection

- Understanding “consensual inspection” is the key to exercising the employer’s rights during an inspection.

- Effective safety program document management can avoid smoking guns.

- A late or ineffective appeal (not knowing defenses) can exacerbate the outcome of an inspection.
