Which type of OSHA compliance inspection occurs following an employee's formal complaint?

The type of OSHA compliance inspection that occurs following an employee's formal complaint is known as a complaint inspection. This process is initiated when an employee notifies OSHA about potential safety hazards or violations in their workplace. The aim of a complaint inspection is to address specific concerns raised by the employee to ensure that workplaces are safe and that employers are complying with applicable safety regulations. During this inspection, OSHA representatives will investigate the reported issues and may consult other employees to gather information about the conditions within the workplace. This helps to promote a culture of safety and accountability, addressing specific concerns raised by workers who may feel unsafe.
