Employer Rights

As an employer, you have the right to:
  • Seek advice and off-site consultation as needed by writing, calling, or visiting the nearest OSHA office. (OSHA will not inspect merely because an employer requests assistance.)
  • Be active in your industry association's involvement in job safety and health
  • Request and receive proper identification of the OSHA compliance officer prior to inspection
  • Be advised by the compliance officer of the reason for an inspection
  • Have an opening and closing conference with the compliance officer
  • Accompany the compliance officer on the inspection
  • File a Notice of Contest with the OSHA area director within 15 working days of receipt of a notice of citation and proposed penalty.
