OSHA INSPECTION COUNSELING

The most important thing that can be done to reduce your OSHA exposure is to effectively manage the inspection.  In that regard, it is easier to avoid citations altogether than it is to have citations vacated once they are issued.  That means ensuring that the OSHA inspector follows all policies and rules when conducting the inspection, and properly asserting your rights during an inspection when necessary.  From the opening conference to the walk-around to document requests to employee interviews to the closing conference, we manage the inspection for you every step of the way, taking the stress and guesswork out of an OSHA inspection and effectively limiting your OSHA exposure.
