Covers required employer documents and recordkeeping expectations, including OSHA Form 300/301 timing, hazard communication program access, and lockout/tagout records. Includes guidance for employer postings, visitor hazard orientation, evidence of employee involvement, safety inspections, training administration, and key work area controls. Also addresses medical services, first aid readiness, and emergency communication.","OSHA Inspection Planning Checklist\nThis list is provided as a general overview of policies and items needed to be prepared for an OSHA inspection. It must be modified to meet the laws of your state and specific requirements of your company. You also will need to refer to OSHA standards for complete and specific standards that may apply to your particular work situation. (NOTE: This checklist is typical for general industry; not for construction or maritime industries.)\nUnder OSHA standards and regulations, there are certain documents that an employer is required to make available to OSHA upon request. Failing to produce them could result in separate violations. Examples of these documents include illness and injury logs, a facility's hazard communication program (HAZ/COM) including safety data sheets (SDS), and a lockout/tagout program. Under federal OSHA regulations, OSHA Form 300 and 301 logs must be produced within four hours after they are requested.\nNote: The information or documents produced should be limited to the items OSHA is actually requesting. For example, a request for your written Hazard Communication program does not mean producing the HC program and training records and audits of the program.\nThe best way to address OSHA inspections is to prepare in advance by considering the issues that may arise, and deciding to the extent possible how they will be addressed. While every inspection is different and relationships with local OSHA Area Offices may influence the approach to an inspection, there are certain issues which may be anticipated. For reference, see the “OSHA Top Ten Violations FY 2017” at the end of this list.\nEmployer Postings\nDisplay Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and state required posters in a prominent location.\nPost safety signs/warnings where appropriate.\nPost emergency telephone numbers where they can be readily found in case of emergency.\nAre emergency evacuation traffic routes clearly identified?\nIs a first aid kit available and adequately stocked?\nIs a written substance abuse policy in place?\nIs the Summary of Occupational Illnesses posted? (OSHA Form 300 must be posted between Feb. 1 and April 30.)\nRecordkeeping\nDocumentation that all visitors to the site, including contract and temporary labor, co-op students, interns, vendors, and sales people, have knowledge of site hazards applicable to them and how to protect themselves against those hazards, including emergency alarms and procedures. Management also ensures that these visitors do not introduce hazards that can be prevented or that are not properly controlled. A written orientation outline for all site visitors, including contractors, is helpful.\nEvidence of employee involvement, such as committee minutes or other records of employee participation in safety and health program decisions.\nAre OSHA 300/301 logs maintained and posted as required?\nAre medical records and exposure records maintained as required?\nAre training records maintained in accordance with OSHA requirements?\nAre employee records being maintained for the required time frames?\nAre operating permits and records up-to-date for such items as elevators, air pressure tanks, and liquefied petroleum gas tanks?\nAre procedures in place to maintain records and logs?\nSafety inspections\nSafety meeting minutes\nAccident investigations\nEmergency response drills\nHave arrangements been made to back-up and preserve required records for the legal period of time for each specific type record? (Some records must be retained for at least 40 years.)\nSafety and Health Training\nThe most important step to take when planning for the inevitable OSHA inspection is to select a company representative who will be responsible for the company’s interests during an OSHA inspection.\nAll job descriptions should include clearly written safety and health responsibilities.\nPerformance evaluations should include a written evaluation of the accomplishment of assigned safety and health respon","cbCaihJ3fNh54Mfu","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihJ3fNh54Mfu","docx",38073,10,"English","en",105,"# OSHA Inspection Planning Checklist\n## Employer Postings\n## Recordkeeping\n## Safety inspections\n## Safety and Health Training\n## Work area hazards\n## Medical Services and First Aid","[{\"question\":\"What documents must an employer be prepared to provide during an OSHA inspection?\",\"answer\":\"Employers must make certain documents available to OSHA upon request, including illness and injury logs, a hazard communication program with safety data sheets, and a lockout/tagout program.
