Description

This webinar will provide you practical tips on dealing with an OSHA inspection. OSHA does not always give fair warning before they show up at your door. Roughly 36% of OSHA inspections result from employee complaints. If OSHA comes knocking today, would you be prepared? There is a positive way to handle the inspection and a negative way - handling it wrong, both before and after the inspection, can cause more problems for your company than the initial reason for the investigation. You will learn about the types of inspection, the tools you can use, how to limit or minimize the scope of the inspection, what information to discuss with an OSHA inspector, what records to show and about your rights and responsibilities.

Are you prepared for an inspection? Do you know what to do and what not to when an inspector shows up at your door? Who should escort the inspector and what sort of information should you share with them? Not being prepared with the right answers can cause an OSHA inspection to cost you plenty of money in fines, not to mention the damage to your organization's image and credibility.

Join us for this 90-minute webinar when our safety expert will address handling inspections, safety complaints and investigations, enforcement actions, and inspector requests for documents during and following an inspection or investigation. This webinar will present some simple and effective steps that you can take to improve compliance and reduce the likelihood of fines, and will provide you with tools you can use right now to be prepared for an OSHA inspection.
