Okla. Admin. Code § 380:40-1-12 - Representatives of employers and employees

(a) PEOSH Inspectors shall be in charge of inspections and questioning of persons. A representative of the employer and an authorized employee representative shall be given an opportunity to accompany the PEOSH Inspector during the physical inspection an any workplace for the purpose of aiding such inspection. Different employer and employee representatives may accompany the PEOSH Inspector during each different phase of an inspection provided that it does not interfere with the conduct of the inspection.

(b) The representative(s) authorized by employees shall be an employee(s) of the employer. However, if in the judgment of the PEOSH Inspector, good cause has been shown why accompaniment by a third party who is not an employee of the employer (such as an industrial hygienist or safety engineer) is reasonably necessary to the conduct of an effective and thorough physical inspection of the workplace, such third party may accompany them during the inspection.

(c) PEOSH Inspectors are authorized to deny the right of accompaniment under this section to any person whose conduct interferes with a fair and orderly inspection.
