Discuss the four major components of an OSHA inspection.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
was established by congress as a result of the passing of the occupational safety and
health act. The primary purpose and mission of OSHA is to enforce safety and health
standards in the workplace.

The four major components of an
OSHA inspection are:

1. Inspector credentials –
   Before the inspection begins the OSHA compliance officer presents their
   credentials.


2. Opening conference – The compliance officer
   explains the reason for the inspection and the scope of the particular
   visit.


3. Walk-through – The compliance officer and a
   company representative walk-through and inspect the location for possible OSHA
   non-compliance.


4. Closing conference – The inspection is
   reviewed and findings are discussed.
