Under OSHA regulations, employers do not have the right to do which of the following?
  1. Refuse to allow an OSHA inspector on the premises.
  2. File a Notice of Contest within 30 days of the citation.
  3. Consult with OSHA to correct hazards without fear of a citation and penalty.
  4. Request a variance to an OSHA standard while waiting for repairs.
Explanation
Answer - B - A Notice of Contest must be filed within 15 days of the citation.

Key Takeaway: The OSH Act requires employers to allow the CSHO to inspect the workplace. Employers may request variances until repairs are made or for processes that provide equal or greater safety for workers. Employers may consult with OSHA to identify possible hazards without fear of a citation and penalty. However once a consultant becomes involved, the employer must abate any violations, or the consultant will refer the violation to an OSHA inspector.
