OSHA Citations: Responses, Timelines, Deadlines, and Best Practices



In this podcast, John Surma and Frank Davis, members of Ogletree Deakins’ Workplace Safety and Health Practice Group, discuss the various types of citations that are issued by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). In particular, Frank and John discuss what employers are required to do once they receive a citation, possible options on responding to citations, and employers’ response and abatement deadlines. John and Frank also discuss how employers can challenge a citation, how and when employers may decide to file a notice of contest, and whether to schedule an informal conference with OSHA.
