OSHA Inspections
If you believe a hazard exists and is not being corrected, you should contact your OSHA state or area office and file a written complaint. If OSHA decides that a violation or hazard exists, they will conduct an inspection. A representative of the employees has the right to accompany the OSHA officer during this inspection. This representative must be chosen by the union if one exists, or by the employees. The employer is absolutely not allowed to choose the employee representative. The inspector may conduct a full inspection of the workplace, or merely the area where the hazard or violation may exist. At the end of the inspection, the inspector will informally communicate any findings or recommendations to the employer and employee representative.
If you believe that your employer is violating OSHA requirements or that your injury or illness resulted from an OSHA violation, you should contact an attorney with experience in construction injury and OSHA violation cases. Your lawyer will inform you of your legal rights and assist you in finding whether your employer or other parties bear legal responsibility for your illness or injury.
