Have you trained your staff on what to do in the event of an OSHA inspection? If not you need to do so.

Inspections can happen at any time, they can be at the request of the employer, an employee or even a third party.

Things to Remember:
1. A OSHA inspector will always advise you that an inspection is taking place, and what the issues or issue may be, they will always carry ID and will ask for a pre inspection meeting.

2. Make sure that you and your employees answer all the questions you are asked, information and education of the inspector is the key to understanding and solving problems and issues.

3. Provide all paper work requested in a timely manner, they will want to see accidents reports, facility inspection reports, safety meeting records, training records, worker comp records (3-5 years), and lost time records.

4. If the inspector advises you of a problem or issue during the inspection try to correct the issue or problem on the spot!

5. Most inspectors are on the ball, don't BS them, kept to the facts and issues at hand.

6. Inspectors have a right to take to any and all employees, volunteers, contractors etc. Do not interfere with this process. Open communication is the key to solving problems.

7. Provided all documents and information to the inspector the more the better.

8. Make sure your employees know the location of your health and safety manual, MSDS and other safety information Locations.
If you have a company web site make sure that your employees know how to locate all of your safety information. Show the inspector your web site and the safety information on it.

9. Good communication is the goal, this helps to reduce fines and citations.

The world around you just changed as you were looking at this list. Be Safe.

Since 1914, leaders in government, business and labor in California have been deeply committed to the safety and health of working men and women in the Golden State. The California Industrial Safety Commission was formed to ensure that these protections were guaranteed, in statute, to California's workers.
Today, the internationally respected California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) identifies and carries on the Industrial Safety Commission's mission to implement programs and services that mitigate or eliminate exposure to safety and industrial hygiene hazards in the workplace.

A Strategic Vision for the Future
Cal/OSHA's Strategic Vision is to promote workplace safety and health by motivating employers and employees to be actively involved in preventing hazards in the workplace, thus leading to reduced injuries and illnesses. It includes three key goals:

Goal 1: Improve workplace safety and health for all workers through direct intervention methods that result in fewer hazards, reduced exposures, and fewer injuries, illnesses and fatalities.

Goal 2: Promote a workplace culture that increases employer and employee awareness of, and commitment to, involvement in safety and health.

Goal 3: Maximize Cal/OSHA's capabilities by improving the effectiveness and efficiency of its programs and services.
Cal OSHA's enforcement and consultation programs focus on an integrated approach to ensure the greatest impact on high-hazard industries, such as construction and manufacturing, which have the highest preventable injury, illness and worker's compensation rates.

Dear Managers and Supervisors,

Please take the time to listen to your staff, employees, volunteers and contractors, they all have great ideas on how to improve safety in the workplace and how to reduce injuries. If you fail to listen you are only hurting yourself in the long run. Worker Compensation is not cheap and injuries cost lots of money in the short term and the long term. If an employee asks you to spend some money on a safety idea or safety suggestion review it, look at it, talk about it, then get off your butt and do something about it! You may save a life, you may reduce an injury and in the long run employees will have more respect for the job and the working environment.
