How to Survive an OSHA Inspection

This course is for managers, supervisors, and business owners who need to respond professionally when an OSHA inspector arrives at your facility.

This isn’t about building safety programs from scratch. We’re focusing on the inspection process itself — from the moment the inspector arrives until you respond to citations. We’ll cover what to say and do to protect your rights and ensure a fair and accurate inspection. If issues are identified, we will guide you dealing with them.

Understanding how inspections work will help you protect your employees, your business, and your legal rights.
