OSHA Compliance and OSHA Requirements

[Shalini]

OSHA inspectors are called compliance safety and health officers and are experienced, well-trained industrial hygienists and safety professionals. Their role is to assure compliance with OSHA requirements and help employers and workers reduce on-the-job hazards and prevent injuries, illnesses, and deaths in the workplace. Inspections are initiated without advance notice, conducted using on-site or telephone and facsimile investigations, performed by highly trained compliance officers and scheduled based on the following priorities:

ISO 9001Imminent danger ISO 9001Catastrophes – fatalities or hospitalizations ISO 9001Worker complaints and referrals ISO 9001Targeted inspections – particular hazards, high injury rates ISO 9001Follow-up inspections
