While budget reductions and policy shifts have contributed to an overall decrease in OSHA inspections in recent years, unprogrammed OSHA inspections have actually increased. Conducted with no prior notification to you as an employer, these unprogrammed inspections are often conducted as a follow-up to earlier inspections that may have found noncompliance. They can also be the result of employee complaints, but many are also conducted at random. Whatever the cause, the best way to be ready for an unprogrammed inspection is to make safety and compliance with OSHA standards a top priority every day. Proper installation, use, and training with equipment such as safety gates is crucial to making your workplace safe for employees.
