Workers have the right to see OSHA citations issued to their employer. Which of the following is true?

• A. Workers can request to see OSHA citations issued to their employer.
• B. Workers cannot see citations.
• C. Only managers can view citations.
• D. Citations must be kept confidential for 5 years.

Answer: (A)

Workers have the right to view OSHA citations issued to their employer. This right exists so employees can stay informed about what violations were found, what hazards were identified, and what corrective actions are required. If you want a copy of a citation, you can request it from your employer or directly from OSHA, and the employer is typically required to post the citation at the workplace so workers can see it. Citations are not confidential; they are public records that help you understand the safety issues affecting your workplace. This access isn’t limited to managers—the right to see them applies to workers as well.
