Small Business Guide to
Handling OSHA Inspections

The NFIB Small Business Legal Center and Arent Fox, PLLC, have teamed together to create a guide that helps small business prepare for OSHA inspections and avoid citations. The handbook provides information about communicating and negotiating with OSHA and lists the type of information you will need for your inspection. The guide should not be considered a substitute for legal advice.
