An OSHA inspection is a process in which a representative of the Occupational Safety and Health Administation comes to your place of business, inspects the workplace for compliance with the OSHA regulations, interviews employees privately, and reviews the records that the OSHA regulations require be kept by your company.

The inspection may result in citations (requirements to fix problems) or fines. Certain rules and regulation in the workplace and operations of sites such as construction sites were created by OSHA to improve safety of the workers. If they have found companies operating without being compliant to their rules, they give them penalties to pay for - something that is better than having to pay for someone's life.
