Part 1, Preparing for OSHA, provides an overview of safety issues that must be addressed prior to any compliance inspection. These include preventive maintenance, safety committees, discipline and accident investigations. Rather than just review the processes involved, advice is given on how to creatively use these tools for safety and as preparation for inspection.

Part 2, Responding to OSHA, gets to the heart of the matter, discussing the compliance officer and safety professional s role in meeting, greeting and accompanying on an inspection of the premises.

A must-have book regarding employer rights and responsibilities in dealing with what some might perceive as an adversarial OSHA.

He shows you exactly how to develop and implement an effective occupational safety and health program that fully complies with OSHA standards, how to proactively prepare for a worksite inspection, and how to respond in the event of a citation. In its fifth printing and filled with useful information and insight that only an OSHA insider could provide plus an extensive self-inspection checklist and useful lists of contacts for health and safety-related information the book offers practical, in-depth coverage of key issues.
