Okla. Admin. Code § 380:40-1-20 - Consultation procedures for public sector
(a) Experiences
with OSHA consultation in the private sector have shown that employers who make
a management commitment to safety and health and involve employees in the
development and implementation of a safety and health program show far greater
results toward the long term reduction of accidents, injuries and illnesses in
the workplace. The Oklahoma Department of Labor recognizes that voluntary
compliance and a pro-active approach to safety and health with emphasis on a
holistic safety and health program is more effective than traditional
enforcement methods. Therefore, it is the intent of the PEOSH Division to not
only enforce safety standards and regulations, but to assist public employers
with voluntarily implementing effective safety and health programs.
(b) PEOSH Inspectors, at the request of the
employer, may conduct on-site consultation visits for the purposes of providing
information, literature and guidance to the employer on requirement or safety
and health standards, implementation of safety and health program elements,
record keeping assistance and written program requirements. However, if during
a consultation visit, a PEOSH Inspector identifies violation(s) of the
referenced federal standards, national consensus standards, or state law, a
citation shall be issued in accordance with section 380:40-1-16.
