As a prequel to the following post I want to state that it is never our intent as a company to ‘scare’ our clients into purchasing any of our products. The nature of our industry is such that people never even think about workplace safety until they have been inspected already, so we have to scramble and fight to re-build rules and precautions that should have been there from the beginning.
Please understand that the following information is based on our experience (most of us here have several years in construction / manufacturing experience) and while we are absolutely a for-profit company, we take a genuine interest and care for the safety and care of those who work alongside us. If you don’t believe that OSHA Inspections can lead to big trouble, I suggest you take 10 minutes to browse the Bureau of Labor Statistics Website, Safety and Health Statistics page.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you were to be inspected by OSHA? What areas would they focus on? Do you expect to be visited anytime soon?
We’ve always offered this tool to our customers and prospective clients who are not sure how their safety program ranks according to OSHA standards, and we’ve always wanted to make it available to the general public, but never had the time.
Recent expansion has allowed to make this available to anybody, absolutely free of charge. If you’ve read this and want to see what it’s about, you can read all the information on our Mock OSHA Inspection page.
