Tracks: Operational/Technical/Regulatory

In this session, you’ll learn how the OSHA inspection and citation process works. OSHA can and will issue fines totaling $12,675 per day for a failure-to-abate violation. This is specifically prevalent in general industry, manufacturing and supply house/warehouse sectors. We’ll discuss why machinery lacking guards, screens or appropriate lockouts must be abated immediately. This means shutting down operations. You’ll also learn why a timely contest is imperative.
