What:  Expectations, Realities and Your Rights During an OSHA Inspection

Most people have an idea of what an OSHA inspection entails and might know someone who has gone through one, but the reality is that most employers have never experienced a comprehensive inspection. As a former OSHA inspector, Harry will outline the basic format of an inspection or investigation and what the compliance officer is looking for.  In addition, we will talk about the employer’s rights, obligations and follow-up requirements.

We hope to see you there!!  Registration is required to receive a sandwich for lunch.  Registration is open until 11:55pm Wed. Sept. 10th.  You can still attend the meeting without a registration, but we can’t guarantee that you will have a lunch sandwich available, unless you are registered.
