In general, OSHA uses the following hierarchy of criteria to set the overall inspection priorities for enforcing its Occupational Safety and Health standards: Imminent Danger.
These hazards do not need to be reported to trigger an inspection. In some cases, an OSHA inspector noticed a serious hazard while driving past a workplace, and that workplace then became a top priority for inspection.
Fatalities or Catastrophes hospitalization of three or more workers. These kinds of events must be reported to OSHA within eight hours of the incident.
These events will trigger an inspection. When OSHA receives a complaint about unsafe working conditions from an employee, union representative, the media, or some other knowledgeable source, the agency will give a high priority to investigating those complaints.
These complaints may be kept confidential, and OSHA has been known to sue employers who unlawfully retaliate against whistleblowers. OSHA will typically return to any workplace that was previously inspected, checking that the necessary actions have been taken to resolve any problems that were found. A repeated violation one that a facility is cited for more than once in five years carries a much higher fine.
These are ordinary, scheduled inspections that target high-hazard industries and workplaces. Generally, they will follow these steps: Research. Before beginning the inspection, the OSHA compliance officer will research the inspection history of the workplace and become familiar with the processes and operations taking place in that specific workplace.
They will also research the OSHA standards that are most likely to apply to that workplace. Opening Conference. Basic Scaffold Checklist. Candle Safety. Dealing with Grief. Defining Ergonomics. Fire Evacuation Procedures.
Getting Past Anger. Heat Stress. Hepatitis B. Holiday Safety. Laboratory Fire Safety. Lightning Safety. Anyone who could be "reasonably anticipated" to face regular exposure to blood or OPIM other potentially infectious materials as a result of performing their job duties.
