OSHA Inspection and Citation Assistance
Lancaster Safety is an experienced company when it comes to immediately assisting our clients with OSHA inspections and citations. The second an OSHA official knocks at the door, our clients can call us for help. We assist in determining what OSHA standards apply to your company, what trainings is needed, and provide proper documentation. Sometimes our clients feel that complying with OSHA’s standards could cause more of a safety hazard, we will provide our advice and represent your company appropriately.
If your company has already been inspected, you only have 15 days to respond, so don’t wait to call us for help! By not responding, the citations become final and the employer must pay the defined penalty and comply with OSHA's requirements. Even if the violations are not directly the employer’s fault, they can still be fined, please see OSHA multi-employer worksite for more information.
LSCI consultants have been consistently successful assisting our clients during informal conferences. It is our mission to achieve a significant reduction or completely eliminate our client’s fines. OSHA officials may grant companies that are in “good faith” that have hired a safety consultant a 20% reduction.
Once the informal conference has concluded, our consultants will work hand in hand with your company to get the case completely closed.
It is not recommended that your company waits to find out if your company is in compliance. In order to prepare our clients for an OSHA inspection, we recommend setting up a “mock” OSHA inspection with one of our safety and health consultants; please contact us for more information. OSHA fines can be costly. Accredited studies show that for every $1 invested in safety, companies can expect to see a $3 to $6 return on investment.
Please call us for more information.This article is intended to provide an overview of LSCI’s role in our client’s OSHA matters, and should not be considered legal advice.
