Question

Any and all projects that are subject to OSHA standards provide the "Right of Entry" to inspect and/or investigate matters that OSHA deems necessary.

Option 1: True
Option 2: False

Answer 1

It is true that OSHA standards grant inspectors the 'Right of Entry' to inspect workplaces. Workers can request an inspection without fear of retaliation, and OSHA strictly enforces these rights through inspections and penalties for noncompliance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Projects that are subject to OSHA standards indeed provide the “Right of Entry” to OSHA inspectors to conduct workplace inspections. This is true. Employers are required by law to provide a safe workplace that does not have serious hazards, must follow all OSHA safety and health standards, and correct safety and health problems.

Workers have the right to file a confidential complaint and request an inspection if they believe there is a serious hazard or their employer is not adhering to OSHA’s standards. They can do so without the risk of employer retaliation, as it is a violation of the OSH Act to retaliate against an employee for exercising their rights under OSHA.

OSHA enforces its standards rigorously with inspections and can issue citations and fines to employers who fail to comply. Compliance officers perform inspections without prior notice, prioritize based on imminent danger, and can carry out inspections due to worker complaints, among other reasons.
