OSHA has done inspections more than a million at both the state and federal level. The aim of all these inspection is to ensure if the industries are complying with the OSHA requirements. OSHA has conducted sudden inspection at regular basis to bring out the main scenario and to take proper action if the industries are not complying with the OSHA regulations. This has made a radical change to the construction and general industries and well being for its workers. OSHA, the main federal agency for occupational safety and health administration, conducted all these enquiries using manpower for which the contractors or industrialists always do care of it. Now let us give a look how and when the inspections can be done.
The inspectors are provided with a monthly list of active projects by the OSHA national office. Besides, the inspectors can have information of working sites from other sources like news paper articles or permitting authorities. OSHA trainings are must for the employers and employees. The issues: if the required OSHA trainings are provided by the employers to their employees or not, if the working sites are safe or not, if the employers are providing safety equipment or not are some points to be inspected well by the inspectors.
Employees can complain to the enforcement agency against regarding anything any issue valid for OSHA. If OSHA gets such complains, then they can normally take care of the issues through paper investigations or immediate investigations according to the seriousness of complains. OSHA compliance officers are required to perform on-site inspection in the event of serious accidents. Employers have the right to accompany the inspectors with their compliance officers.
There are rules to impose fine upon the industrialists on whose same hazard involves two violations. These kinds of issues are also subsided through informal discussion of both the parties’ i.e. OSHA inspectors and the industrialists. If the issues are more serious then the cases are handled by the courts or through settlement agreements.
Through such processes, OSHA inspections are done with the aim of reducing the danger in the work sites and also for the safety of workers.
