Overview:

Was your company one of the over 50,000 inspected by Federal or a State OSHA this year? If not, will you be prepared as OSHA steps up its enforcement this year? We will cover what triggers an OSHA inspection, what you can expect when an inspector calls on your facility, what your rights and obligations are, should you request a warrant, and what you should do during the inspection and afterwards.

Why you should attend: Every year OSHA inspects thousands of workplaces from coast to coast. The OSHA Act give the Federal and State OSHA agencies the right to conduct workplace inspections to ensure that employees have safe and healthy working conditions. Yet employers, after 40 years of OSHA, still are often unprepared and surprised. This program is a practical, reality based session to help you and your company knows what to expect, how to prepare, avoid surprises and fines from OSHA inspections.
