Be ready for the inspector before they show up.
OSHA inspections aren't scheduled. The records they ask for are the records you should be able to produce on demand, every day, not just on inspection day.
What the inspector typically asks for
Inspections vary, but for an abatement or demolition contractor, the document request usually includes:
- OSHA 300, 300A, and 301 forms for the last three years.
- Written exposure control plan / asbestos compliance program.
- Written respiratory protection program.
- Fit-test records for the workers on the job today.
- Medical surveillance records for those workers.
- Worker training records (initial 40-hour and current annual refresher).
- Air monitoring records for the project.
- Engineering survey for the project (demolition).
- Daily inspection / JHA records.
- Hazard communication program and SDS register.
- Competent person designation and qualifications.
How Nexus helps produce each one
- Worker training and fit-test records: Every credential is tracked per worker with the source document attached. Export the worker's credential history as a CSV with linked PDFs.
- Crew compliance, day-of: The crew compliance PDF lists every worker on a given project, their assigned role, and the credentials they hold. One click.
- Daily JHA, daily log, daily report records: Every form filed against the project is in the project's daily form record, exportable.
- Engineering surveys, written programs, monitoring reports, lab data: Uploaded as project or company documents and accessible from the project view.
- OSHA 300/300A/301: Incident records are tracked, but Nexus doesn't yet generate the 300-series forms. The underlying incident data is exportable as CSV; the formatted forms are a roadmap item.
The pre-inspection drill
Run the project compliance report once a month. The report shows every project's crew assignments and whether every assigned worker is current on the project's required credentials. Fix the gap before an inspector finds it.
