How to confirm your OSHA Injury & Illness Program will pass an Audit by OSHA

OVERVIEW

An OSHA safety auditor will review your written OSHA Safety program and compare it to their OSHA regulations. Safety audits follow strict guidelines and have specific questions that must be addressed in order to be in compliance. Failure to pass a safety audit can lead to OSHA citations. 

The U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Administration is reminding employers that the 2022 Form 300A must be posted from February 1st to April 30, 2023.

If OSHA is auditing as the result of a serious injury, citations will be issued if safety training was not given that contributed to the injury. Currently the minimum amount per citation is $15,000+ 

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?

Most employers are not sure their program is in compliance that will provide a defense from citations and litigation. Most employers are living on luck, hoping their program is in compliance.

You can have confidence your program will pass by following a well-designed safety program blueprint.
