Slide 11 - General Duty Clause The general duty clause is meant to apply when a recognized hazard exists, for which there is not (or not yet) a precise standard. In other words, an unsafe condition not covered by one of OSHA’s specific standards is understood to be covered by the general duty clause.

Slide 15 - Inspection Process The presentation of the Inspector’s Credentials: The inspector must present his or her credentials upon arrival upon a site for inspection. Employers should always insist upon seeing the compliance officer’s credentials.
Slide 16 - Inspection Process Opening Conference: In the opening conference, the compliance officer (CSHO) explains why the establishment was selected.

Slide 21 - Citations Citations inform the employer and employees of regulations and standards alleged to have been violated and of the proposed length of time set for their abatement.

Slide 26 - Criminal Penalties OSHA itself does not have the authority to bring criminal cases, but must refer a case to the Justice Department for trial. In recent years, this has happened more frequently, and in several cases, employers have received jail sentences.
Slide 27 - Employers Rights and Responsibilities Citations must be posted for 3 working days or until the violation is corrected. Must be posted at or near the place where each violation occurred
Slide 28 - Employers Rights and Responsibilities Employers options upon receipt of citations If you agree with the citations, you must correct the violations and pay any penalties. If you do not agree you have 15 working days to dispute in writing the: Citation, Penalty, and/or the ending dates
