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?
I had what I assume was a disgruntled former employee make a complaint.
We had to post a notice in the break room, and document the offenses and remedies.
It amounted to rolling up some extension cords (that should be put away) and taking pictures of exit doors that were supposedly blocked. (During production a cart or pallet might be in an isle?)
I sent pictures of the before and after, and never heard anything beyond.
