You might be well versed in what to do when the IRS shows up, or INS, or your insurance premium auditor… but what about OSHA? Do your employees know? What should they say or not say? What should they be prepared for? Who should be notified? What's your exposure if your team is untrained on how to handle a visit? 

This is risk management from a more direct approach than our typical legal or surety angles. As a Senior Risk Control Specialist, Randy Mcleod spends a significant amount of time directly training insurance customers on not only safety and compliance, but what to do when OSHA shows up! 

Small and Mid sized construction companies may not have a dedicated safety expert, or a superintendent training program, or even site employees who've been through an OSHA visit yet. You've probably got some low hanging fruit available on your safety programs, OSHA preparedness, and overall employee education.
