OSHA On-site Consultation Program
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) On-Site Consultation
program has moved from the Ohio Department of Commerce to BWC. The program,
primarily funded by the U.S. Department of Labor - OSHA, focuses on small, high-hazard employers
who want help in finding and correcting safety hazards in their workplaces.
OSHA On-Site Consultation’s services include free on-site safety inspections and
consultation, safety program assistance, safety and hygiene training or seminars
and printed and electronic resources. Unlike the federal OSHA program, OSHA On-Site
Consultation does not have right of entry to a workplace; and it does not issue citations
or fines. An employer must request the service, and has a mutually
agreed-upon time frame within which to correct any safety hazards identified.
