Employment Law Practice Exam

Following an OSHA inspection, employers are required to take specific actions regarding any citations they receive. One such requirement is to post the citations near the site of the violations. This posting serves to inform employees about the nature of the violations and the measures they need to take to protect themselves.

While it's true that employers must comply with citations, this compliance may not necessarily need to happen immediately, especially if they choose to appeal the citation. The requirement to submit an appeal within a specified timeframe is also true, but it is contingent upon the employer's desire to contest the citation. Therefore, while it's important to know these other obligations, the clear and unequivocal responsibility to post citations makes that requirement particularly vital in this context.

By requiring employers to post citations, OSHA aims to create transparency and ensure that employees are aware of hazardous conditions and the employer's non-compliance.
