If<br \/>\nyour company has not yet experienced an<br \/>\nOSHA inspection, chances are it will<br \/>\nsooner rather than later. While in<br \/>\ncertain cases inspections may be random,<br \/>\noftentimes an inspection can be<br \/>\ninitiated by a disgruntled employee, or<br \/>\nby well-publicized accidents. It is now<br \/>\na common practice for police and fire<br \/>\ndepartments to call OSHA when they are<br \/>\non the scene of a job-related accident.<br \/>\nWhen OSHA appears, the employer&#8217;s<br \/>\ninitial response will determine his or<br \/>\nher success in avoiding and defending<br \/>\ncitations. OSHA&#8217;s first visit<br \/>\nafter an accident is the most important<br \/>\nevent in the life of the investigation.<br \/>\nIt is a mistake to think you have<br \/>\nnothing to hide, and as a result, take<br \/>\nno action. Every business should have<br \/>\nprocedures in place for dealing with an<br \/>\ninspection. With planning, employers can<br \/>\nmanage the inspection effectively to<br \/>\nminimize work disruptions, present the<br \/>\nemployer and worksite in the best light<br \/>\npossible, maintain positive employee<br \/>\nrelations, and preserve sound<br \/>\nrelationships with the government<br \/>\nagency. Failing to plan, however, may<br \/>\nresult in excessive civil penalties,<br \/>\nsignificant abatement costs, criminal<br \/>\nprosecutions, negative media coverage,<br \/>\nand deteriorating employee relations.<br \/>\nTaking effective steps before, during,<br \/>\nand after a government    inspection or<br \/>\ninvestigation is critical to limiting<br \/>\nyour liability.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that you are entitled to<br \/>\nrepresentation in an OSHA inspection and<br \/>\nOSHA must give your company a reasonable<br \/>\nopportunity to have your safety<br \/>\nconsultant or OSHA attorney travel to<br \/>\nyour facility before the inspection<br \/>\ncommences. Do not be in a hurry to let<br \/>\nOSHA into your facility&#8212;it is not<br \/>\naltogether unusual for companies to make<br \/>\nan OSHA Compliance Officer (C.O.) wait<br \/>\nas long as 2 hours for their<br \/>\nrepresentation to arrive, although this<br \/>\nis at the outer limits of a reasonable<br \/>\ntime frame.<\/p>\n<p>When OSHA appears, you have 2<br \/>\noptions: permit the inspection or refuse<br \/>\nit. If the inspection is permitted,<br \/>\nstrict parameters need be set in order<br \/>\nto keep the C.O. from having the<br \/>\nopportunity to engage in a fishing<br \/>\nexpedition for additional violations.<br \/>\nThe choice to grant access should be<br \/>\nbased on the facts and circumstances<br \/>\nsurrounding the citation, and the<br \/>\nworking environment at time of<br \/>\ninspection. Generally, however, if the<br \/>\nC.O. appears with a proper complaint, he<br \/>\nor she should be permitted to inspect<br \/>\nthe premises&#8212;but only for the item<br \/>\nidentified in the complaint. The<br \/>\nemployer&#8217;s limitations on the<br \/>\ninspection should be stated to the C.O.,<br \/>\nand those limitations should be strictly<br \/>\nfollowed. Remember, OSHA is empowered to<br \/>\nexpand the inspection scope and issue<br \/>\ncitations for other violations that may<br \/>\nbe in plain sight as the C.O. moves<br \/>\nbetween the entrance to the work place<br \/>\nand the area of the<br \/>\ninspection&#8212;anything they can see<br \/>\nis fair game. To mitigate potential<br \/>\nissues, it is not unusual for an<br \/>\nemployer to have the C.O. walk outside<br \/>\nor around the facility to enter a back<br \/>\nor side door immediately adjacent to the<br \/>\narea of inspection.<\/p>\n<p>An employer has the right to deny<br \/>\naccess to OSHA inspectors until a search<br \/>\nwarrant is obtained, and there are<br \/>\nbenefits to this approach. A warrant<br \/>\nmust identify the scope of the<br \/>\ninspection, and the time limitations for<br \/>\nperforming the inspection, and it gives<br \/>\nthe employer time to properly prepare<br \/>\nthe facilities. Requesting a warrant is<br \/>\nadvised when there are numerous items<br \/>\nlisted on the complaint, or a<br \/>\n&#8220;wall-to-wall&#8221; inspection is<br \/>\nintended. While it may seem risky to<br \/>\n&#8220;annoy&#8221; a C.O. by requesting<br \/>\na warrant, it does not mean he or she<br \/>\nwill be overly zealous about an<br \/>\ninspection.<\/p>\n<p>Well before OSHA appears, you should<br \/>\nestablish a protocol for an inspection<br \/>\nand designate a team to interact with<br \/>\nOSHA&#8212;only these team members who<br \/>\nare trained in the proper protocol<br \/>\nshould interact with the OSHA<br \/>\ninvestigators. Within this team, you<br \/>\nshould designate one individual to<br \/>\ncontrol and monitor the entire process.<br \/>\nThis person should prepare to cooperate<br \/>\nwith OSHA inspectors as legally<br \/>\nrequired, but also take care not to<br \/>\ndivulge unnecessary information.<\/p>\n<p>Abide by the following rules and<br \/>\navoid being excessively cooperative or<br \/>\noverly communicative; a high level of<br \/>\ncooperation will not mitigate your<br \/>\nexposure to liability, and may<br \/>\ncomplicate or prolong the investigation.\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"color: #7995C3\"><span \nstyle=\"color: #000 \n!important;\">Designate one<br \/>\nsafety&#45;knowledgeable manager to<br \/>\ninterface with<br \/>\nOSHA during the current inspection and<br \/>\nin any future visits.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"color: #7995C3\"><span \nstyle=\"color: #000 !important;\">Consider<br \/>\nwhether to immediately employ an<br \/>\nexperienced safety consultant or OSHA<br \/>\nattorney to handle the initial<br \/>\ninspection and any future inspections to<br \/>\nminimize your exposure.

If the settlement<br \/>\nrequires you to change your methods of<br \/>\noperation in some fashion that will<br \/>\neither be excessively costly or<br \/>\nsubstantially impede effective and<br \/>\neconomic production, then a settlement<br \/>\nmay not be a good option. Do not measure<br \/>\nthe success of the outcome of the<br \/>\ninvestigation by the number of dollars<br \/>\nthat the penalty has been reduced, but<br \/>\ninstead, by whether the agreed-upon<br \/>\nabatement efforts impede your normal<br \/>\noperations. Also, it is possible that<br \/>\nother types of civil court actions and<br \/>\nadministrative proceedings may arise out<br \/>\nof the accident, and any of OSHA&#8217;s<br \/>\ndocumentation will be discoverable.<\/p>\n<p>OSHA&#8217;s enforcement activities<br \/>\nhave changed dramatically in recent<br \/>\nyears, and businesses must refine their<br \/>\napproach to dealing with OSHA in order<br \/>\nto successfully make it through<br \/>\ninspections. Few attorneys and<br \/>\nconsultants are adequately equipped to<br \/>\ndeal with safety issues, especially when<br \/>\nthere are serious accidents, so it is<br \/>\nworthwhile to seek out a consultant who<br \/>\nis very familiar with safety issues and<br \/>\nOSHA proceedings. Take the time now to<br \/>\nconsider how you will approach an<br \/>\ninspection before your day comes. Having<br \/>\na pre-set plan in place can make a<br \/>\nsignificant difference in OSHA&#8217;s<br \/>\nfinal determination and any penalties<br \/>\nyour business may face.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is currently escalating its inspection efforts.
