Question 2

What OSHA requirements apply to Retail Trade employers?

Accepted Answer

Retail employers must comply with OSHA General Industry standards (29 CFR 1910). Common areas of concern include powered industrial trucks and forklifts (1910.178), walking-working surfaces (1910.22), emergency exits and action plans (1910.38), electrical safety (1910.303), and hazard communication for cleaning chemicals and other substances (1910.1200).

Question 3

Why do some OSHA inspections result in zero penalties?

Accepted Answer

Not every OSHA inspection results in penalties. Inspections may find no violations, or the violations cited may be classified as Other-than-Serious with penalties reduced or waived. OSHA considers several factors when determining penalties, including employer size (small employers receive reductions), good faith efforts (having an effective safety program), and history (first-time offenders may receive lower penalties).

Question 4

Can employees refuse to work if conditions are unsafe?

Accepted Answer

Under limited circumstances, employees may refuse to perform work if they reasonably believe they face an imminent danger of death or serious injury. Before refusing, the employee should ask the employer to correct the hazard and, if possible, contact OSHA. The conditions for a protected work refusal are narrow: the danger must be imminent, the employee must have asked the employer to fix it, and there must not have been time to get the hazard corrected through normal channels.

Question 5

What happens during the opening conference of an OSHA inspection?

Accepted Answer

At the start of an inspection, the OSHA compliance officer holds an opening conference with the employer. During this conference, the inspector presents credentials, explains the reason for the inspection (complaint, programmed, referral, etc.), describes the scope of the inspection, and outlines employer and employee rights. The employer may designate a representative to accompany the inspector during the walkaround. Employee representatives also have the right to participate.

Question 6

How does OSHA select employers for programmed inspections?

Accepted Answer

OSHA uses objective data to select employers for programmed inspections. Selection criteria include industry injury and illness rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, participation in National or Local Emphasis Programs targeting specific hazards, and employer-specific data such as reported injury rates from OSHA Form 300A submissions. The selection process is designed to focus limited inspection resources on workplaces with the highest potential for serious injuries and illnesses.

Question 7

How can I check if a company has OSHA violations before accepting a job?

Accepted Answer

You can search for any employer's OSHA inspection history on SafetyRecord.org by entering the company name. Look at the number and type of violations (Serious, Willful, Repeat), the recency of inspections, and whether violations were corrected. A clean record or only minor violations is a positive sign. Companies in construction, manufacturing, and warehousing are inspected more frequently, so having inspections on record is normal for those industries.
