Always Do This During An OSHA Inspection

Have you ever had an OSHA inspection? If so, you may have received citations and had to start correcting the problems found. But did you know that there's an opportunity to clarify issues, reduce penalties, and wrap up the inspection process? 

Here are three key benefits of attending an informal conference:

1. Clarify Issues: Inspectors, while knowledgeable, can sometimes make mistakes or misunderstandings. An informal conference gives you a chance to explain your side of the story, clarify any confusion, and discuss the best way to correct the problem.
2. Reduce Penalties: By attending the conference, you can negotiate with the inspector and potentially reduce the fines associated with the citations. In some cases, you may even be able to eliminate the fines altogether if you can prove that there was no actual hazard.
3. Wrap Up the Process: An informal conference allows you to finalize the inspection process and avoid drawn-out litigation. By addressing the issues and negotiating a resolution, you can quickly move on and focus on running your business.

Remember, attending an informal conference is a valuable opportunity to protect your business and your employees. By taking advantage of this process, you can ensure that the inspection is handled efficiently and fairly.
