Inspection Deferral |
| |
| Eligible employers who receive a full-service
consultation survey and a comprehensive safety and health program review,
may request a deferral from programmed OSHA inspections for up to 18 months
while the employer works with PA/OSHA Consultants to improve their safety
and health programs. However, inspections prompted by a formal employee
complaint, imminent danger, fatality or catastrophe would not be deferred.
At the end of the inspection deferral period participating employers should
be eligible to apply for admission into the Safety and Health Achievement
Recognition Program (SHARP). |

Employers who are admitted into the SHARP receive an additional
12-month exemption from programmed OSHA inspections. At the end of their
first year of SHARP participation, employers that have their SHARP certificates
renewed may receive an additional 24-month exemption from programmed OSHA
inspections. However, this exemption would not apply to inspections prompted
by a formal employee complaint, imminent danger hazard, fatality or catastrophe.
