2018 - OSHA Inspections - Avoiding the 10 Most Common Mistakes

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.
