OSHA Inspection & Enforcement Programs – Preparing for OSHA’s 2006 Targeted Inspection Plan

|
Did you know the Occupational Safety and Health Administration announced that its 2006 site-specific targeting (SST) plan will focus on approximately 4,250 high-hazard worksites in its primary list for unannounced comprehensive inspections? The agency will also randomly select and inspect about 175 worksites across the nation that reported low injury and illness rates for the purpose of reviewing the actual degree of compliance with OSHA requirements.
OSHA inspection and enforcement priorities are continuously changing. Furthermore, OSHA has national as well as local special emphasis programs. States running their own OSHA program may also have special emphasis programs. Do you know the details of these programs? Further, how can you prepare for these types of inspections should OSHA pay your facility a visit?
Join us for a 2-hour audio conference as we discuss the various OSHA inspection and enforcement priorities. We will discuss the current enforcement schemes and inspection programs. Elements that enhance your potential for being selected for an enforcement program will be addressed. We will provide guidance on how to prepare for an inspection, including composition of the team, document preparation and strategy for the inspection response. |
