Are You Ready for an OSHA Inspection?

Preparing for an OSHA inspection isn’t just about avoiding citations—it’s about building a culture of safety that protects your team and ensures compliance. At ABC NESD, we’re committed to equipping our members with the tools and resources they need to succeed, whether it's on the jobsite or during an OSHA inspection.

Top Steps to Minimize OSHA Citations

  1. Understand OSHA Standards
    Stay informed on the OSHA standards specific to your industry and jobsite. ABC NESD offers resources to help you stay up to date with the latest compliance requirements.

  2. Organize Your Documentation
    Ensure all safety records, training logs, and equipment inspection reports are up-to-date and accessible. OSHA-required programs, such as PPE and Hazard Communication plans, should be easy to locate.

  3. Perform Regular Jobsite Inspections
    Proactively identify and correct hazards using a standardized checklist. This keeps the worksite safe and demonstrates a strong commitment to compliance.

  4. Provide Ongoing Safety Training
    Engage your team in regular training sessions. Utilize ABC NESD’s resources and programs to keep your workforce knowledgeable and OSHA-ready.

  5. Appoint a Safety Point Person
    Designate a team member as your safety representative to coordinate with inspectors. This person should know where records are kept and understand jobsite conditions inside and out.

  6. Engage with Inspectors Professionally
    Be courteous and cooperative. Verify inspector credentials, provide requested documents, and correct identified hazards promptly.
