Employer Rights and Responsibilities Following an OSHA Inspection: OSHA Brochure #3000 Last Updated: 12/30/2009 |
||
|
This pamphlet contains important information regarding your rights and responsibilities under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act, Public Law 91-596, as amended through January 1, 2004).
An OSHA compliance safety and health officer (CSHO) conducts an inspection of your workplace, in accordance with the OSH Act. After the inspection, the CSHO reports the findings to the Area Director who evaluates them.
If a violation exists, OSHA will issue you a Citation and Notification of Penalty detailing the exact nature of the violation( s) and any associated penalties (see also OSHA Fact Sheet OSHA Inspections). A citation informs you of the alleged violation, sets a proposed time period within which to correct the violation, and proposes the appropriate dollar penalties.
