 Employees have the right to talk with OSHA representatives during the site inspection if they want
to. This is voluntary.
 OSHA DOES NOT have the right to interview Employees individually. You may allow employees
to be interviewed at your sole discretion. Employees may request that their Foreman or a company
representative be present.
 Employees have the right to have a representative (union representative or lawyer) present during
the interview.

 During the inspection, do not agree or disagree with the OSHA inspector.
 If OSHA offers suggestions or points out unsafe acts as you are walking the job site, DO NOT
agree or disagree with the observation. Allow the OSHA Officer to write down his findings and
present them to you at the closing meeting.
 DO NOT correct any alleged violations in the presence of the OSHA Officer. To do so is an
admission of guilt.
 Be honest. Give the best information you can. But answer only questions that you understand and
that pertain to you. Answer only the questions asked, do not give additional information, volunteer
additional information or expand into other topics.
