Have you been notified by OSHA that they have received a complaint regarding your business?

Have you been visited by an OSHA Compliance Officer?
​
Have you been issued citations by OSHA?
​
We can help with all of the above, including formal responses, hazard abatement procedures, OSHA Informal Conference representation, as well as contestment procedures.
​
​
There are also some circumstances which require you, as the employer, to contact OSHA to report incidents (there are fines involved if this is not done).
​
Have you had a death in the workplace and require assistance in the mandatory self-reporting to OSHA?
​
Within eight (8) hours after the death of any employee as a result of a work-related incident, you must report the fatality to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), U.S. Department of Labor.
Within twenty-four (24) hours after the in-patient hospitalization of one or more employees or an employee's amputation or an employee's loss of an eye, as a result of a work-related incident, you must report the in-patient hospitalization, amputation, or loss of an eye to OSHA.

Why and When can OSHA inspect a workplace?
Inspection priorities: OSHA has jurisdiction over approximately 7 million worksites. The agency seeks to focus its inspection resources on the most hazardous workplaces in the following order of priority:
1. Imminent Danger Situations: hazards that could cause death or serious physical harm receive top priority. Compliance officers will ask employers to correct these hazards immediately or remove endangered employees.
​
2. Severe Injuries and Illnesses: Employers must report: (1) all work-related fatalities within 8 hours; (2) All work-related inpatient hospitalizations, amputations, or losses of an eye within 24 hours.
​
​
​
3. Worker Complaints: Allegations of hazards or violations also receive a high priority. Employees may request anonymity when they file complaints.
​
4. Referrals of hazards from other Federal, State, or Local Agencies: Individuals, organization, or the media receive consideration for inspection.
​
5. Targeted Inspections: Inspections aimed at specific high-hazard industries or individual workplaces that have experienced high rates of injuries and illnesses also receive priority.
​
6. Follow-up Inspections: Checks for abatement of violations cited during previous inspection are also conducted by the agency in certain circumstances.
