The consequences for employers being caught ill-prepared for an OSHA inspection or making the wrong choices during an inspection are more dire now than ever because OSHA has: 1) grown the Severe Violator Enforcement Program (“SVEP”); 2) expanded the Instance-by-instance (“IBI”) citation policy; 3) set a record in 2023 for willful and repeat violations and significant enforcement actions; and, of course, 4) finalized the controversial “Worker Walkaround Representative” Rule which adds a whole new wrinkle to the OSHA inspection landscape.

As of January 1, 2024 OSHA's final rule that will require certain employers in designated high-hazard industries to electronically submit additional injury and illness information has become effective. OSHA's announcement of this final rule follows proposed amendments announced in March 2022 to regulations requiring specific establishments in certain high-hazard industries to electronically submit information from their Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses and their Injury and Illness Incident Report. Submission requirement's: - Establishments with 100 or more employees in certain high-hazard industries must electronically submit information from their form 300, Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses, and for 301, Injury and Illness Incident Report, to OSHA once a year. - Establishments are required to include their legal company name when making electronic submissions to OSHA from their injury and illness records to improve data quality #captiveinsurance #CaptivatedbyLCA #MemberOwnedCaptive #lehighvalleypa #Captiveinsurance #Safety #PeaceOfMind #EmpowerYourBusiness #OSHA #YourBusinessYourRules #ClaimsManagement

At a recent OSHA presentation, an attendee asked, "is it actually possible to - you know, like, get OSHA to reclassify a violation?" Answer: yes, of course! ALL.THE.TIME - and, guess what, sometimes even MORE than that. Oftentimes, it's a matter of how hard you want to fight. I could tell the person was nervous to ask the question because I had just spoken for an hour and an answer of "no" might have invalidated everything I had just said. I could tell he expected the answer to be a "disguised no" (meaning, a "no" hidden in a bunch of disclaimers and double-talk and lawyer-speak about needing to analyze the facts and circumstances of each case, etc.). I can tell you the answer is this: YES. OSHA does many things and is many things. One thing it CERTAINLY is, however, is willing to wheel and deal. It has to because at the end of the day, OSHA - if pressed - must prove every single violation it ALLEGES (and, know this: OSHA must prove four elements to establish any ONE violation). OSHA Citations are "allegations," not a formal (and/or final) adjudication of the issues raised, but of course which are not decided, in the Citation. So, all of that said, state your case - if you have one. And ask for something better that what the "as issued" Citation provides. OK, I'll ask the next (and last) question: "Do employers often HAVE cases (meaning, defenses)?" Glad to tell you that's an unqualified "yes" too. #OSHA #safety #Defenses
