Under the OSH Act, employers have the responsibility to provide a safe workplace. An OSHA compliance safety and health officer (CSHO) conducts an inspection of your workplace, in accordance with the OSH Act. After the inspection, the CSHO reports the findings to the OSHA area director who evaluates them. If a violation exists, OSHA will issue you a Citation and Notification of Penalty detailing the exact nature of the violation(s) and any associated penalties. A citation informs you of the alleged violation, sets a proposed time period within which to correct the violation, and proposes the appropriate dollar penalties. The information in this booklet can and should be used as a discussion guide during your closing conference with the CSHO. For each apparent violation found during the inspection, the compliance officer has discussed or will discuss the following with you: Nature of the violation; Possible abatement measures you may take to correct the violative condition; Possible abatement dates you may be required to meet; and Any penalties that the area director may issue. The CSHO is a highly trained professional who can help you recognize and evaluate hazards as well as suggest appropriate methods of correcting violations. To minimize employee exposure to possible hazardous conditions, abatement efforts should always begin as soon as possible.

Book excerpt: The Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Act of 1970 created the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) within the Department of Labor and encouraged employers and employees to reduce workplace hazards and to implement safety and health programs. In so doing, this gave employees many new rights and responsibilities, including the right to do the following: Review copies of appropriate standards, rules, regulations, and requirements that the employer should have available at the workplace. Request information from the employer on safety and health hazards in the workplace, precautions that may be taken, and procedures to be followed if the employee is involved in an accident or is exposed to toxic substances. Have access to relevant employee exposure and medical records. Request the OSHA area director to conduct an inspection if they believe hazardous conditions or violations of standards exist in the workplace. Have an authorized employee representative accompany the OSHA compliance officer during the inspection tour. Respond to questions from the OSHA compliance officer, particularly if there is no authorized employee representative accompanying the compliance officer on the inspection walkaround. Observe any monitoring or measuring of hazardous materials and see the resulting records, as specified under the OSH Act, and as required by OSHA standards. Have an authorized representative, or themselves, review the Log and Summary of Occupational Injuries (OSHA No. 200) at a reasonable time and in a reasonable manner.
