Ken,
Regarding frequency of inspection, my sarcastic response (with a spritz of
reality) is that this depends on the budget that our Congress gives them,
which will vary year to year. In the past CAL-OSHA (the California arm of
OSHA) was very aggressive in workplace inspections. Nowadays, you don't
even hear of CAL-OSHA, and I am not even sure that it exists as an entity.
The federal OSHA recently (last 10 years or so) has become more visible on
paper as to its requirements, but I don't have a feel as to its enforcement.
What I read in the papers, it seems to be only in a reactive and not
proactive mode. Try their web site.

Greetings !! As you are well aware of, especially in the U.S., regulatory
compliance is becoming more of a liability matter than anything else, and
often times our disciplines cross over into other areas, such as OSHA and
CFR compliance. Does anyone know of any good information in regards to OSHA
requirements? For instance, does OSHA audit every company, or just those
that workplace injuries are reported? What kind of inspection do they
perform?
Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ken Matsuda
