  • Post, at a prominent location within the workplace, the OSHA poster (OSHA 2203) and/or the state's equivalent poster informing employees of their rights and responsibilities
  • Provide employees, former employees, and their representatives access to the Log and Summary of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (OSHA 200) at a reasonable time and in a reasonable manner
  • Provide access to employee medical records and exposure records to employees or their authorized representatives
  • Cooperate with the OSHA compliance officer by furnishing names of authorized employee representatives or a reasonable number of employees who may be asked to accompany the compliance officer during a safety and health inspection
  • Not discriminate against employees who properly exercise their rights under the OSH Act
  • Post OSHA citations at or near the worksite involved. Each citation, or copy thereof, must remain posted until the violation has been abated, or for three working days, whichever is longer
