About OSHA

OSHA's vision is to help employers be responsible for providing a safe and healthful workplace for their employees. OSHA's role is to assure the safety and health of America's workers by setting and enforcing standards; providing training, outreach, and education; establishing partnerships; and encouraging continual process improvement in workplace safety and health. According to OSHA, common types of health hazards at the workplace are:

Chemical (asbestos, solvents, chlorine)
Biological (tuberculosis, HIV, hepatitis, molds)
Physical (noise, heat and cold, radiation, vibration)
Ergonomics or Repetitive Strain Injuries (carpal tunnel syndrome, back injuries)
Psychological (stress)

OSHA Inspection Priorities

First is Immediate Danger
Second are fatalities or accidents serious enough to send three or more employees to the hospital.
Third are employee complaints.
Fourth are referrals from other government agencies.
Fifth are targeted inspections-such as the Site Specific Targeting Program, which focuses on employers that report high injury and illness rates, and special emphasis programs that zero in on hazardous work such as trenching or equipment and mechanical power presses.
Follow-up inspections are the final priority.

In the healthcare and dental care industry, employee complaints and referrals are most common. Details of 2010-2011 OSHA Inspection Statistics including sample OSHA Inspection report, click here

Penalties

OSHA penalties range from $0 to $70,000, depending upon how likely the violation is to result in serious harm to employees.
Other-than-serious violations often carry no penalties but may result in penalties of up to $7,000.
Serious violations may have penalties up to $7,000.
Repeat and willful violations may have penalties as high as $70,000.
Penalties may be discounted if an employer has a small number of employees, has demonstrated good faith, or has few or no previous violations.
Employers have the right to contest OSHA citations and/or penalties before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission. Employers must file notices of contest within 15 working days of being issued citations.
