If an OSHA inspector finds a violation, it will be mentioned to management in the closing conference, unless it depends on air sampling results. Then the company may be notified by mail after the inspection. The citation will be reviewed by the OSHA Area or Regional Manager. If confirmed by OSHA management, a citation will be issued, with a proposed fine.
The company may have an informal conference with OSHA to discuss whether the citation is justified and the proposed fine appropriate. The company also can file a formal notice of contest and contest the citation through Administrative Law Judges and even the civil courts.
After the citation is final, the company must pay the fine and take whatever action is necessary to eliminate the violation and ensure it is not repeated.
