So before I started my business I worked for my old boss for 10 years. He would always talk about being careful about stuff “because OSHA could show up” like they were some type of boogeyman. In those 10 years I never once saw anyone from any type of regulatory body.

So was my boss just being paranoid? What are the odds someone from OSHA actually would be around? have you ever dealt with them?

    OSHA generally only shows up to complaints.

    Usually those are filed by employees, sometimes by disgruntled random neighbors, or customers.

    Dot your I’s cross your T’s and you’ll be fine. Be aware of your industry regulations and follow them. If you do some sort of blue collar type job your insurer may be able to provide some guidance on safety requirements, too.
