Which statement is true about scheduling an OSHA inspection rights?

• A. You may object to the date set for the violation to be corrected, and be notified if the employer files a contest
• B. You may cancel the inspection at any time
• C. You may request a different inspector
• D. You may ignore the date set

Answer: (A)

When OSHA sets an abatement date for correcting a cited violation, workers have a voice in that timeline. If the date seems impractical or unfair, you can raise objections to the date, and you should be kept informed if the employer files a contest to the citation. This helps balance the need to fix hazards promptly with reality on the ground, ensuring the process remains transparent and that workers aren’t left in the dark while disputes move through the system. Other actions described—canceling the inspection, selecting a different inspector, or simply ignoring the date—aren’t procedures available to workers as part of the OSHA inspection and enforcement process.
