🎯 [OSHA Leads] 3 New Inspections Logged in Harris County · Today's Dispatch
Good morning Dave, here are the 3 federal OSHA inspections opened in Harris County overnight and matched in our 5:00 a.m. scan. Citations take 3 to 6 months to formally issue—giving you the closing conference window to assist before penalties are proposed.
“I noticed OSHA conducted a follow-up inspection at your Spring site yesterday. Follow-up visits specifically verify whether previously cited safety items were fully abated. If inspectors find open deficiencies, federal failure-to-abate penalties accrue daily ($16,550/day). We help commercial GCs audit their abatement records before the closing conference. Do you have 10 minutes Thursday?”
“Trenching referrals in the Houston South district face expedited scrutiny under OSHA's National Emphasis Program. If inspectors questioned your protective systems, competent-person daily logs, or soil classification, having those files prepared before citations are drafted is critical. Can I email you our 1-page contractor trenching audit checklist?”
“I noticed an OSHA complaint inspection was opened at your Pasadena fabrication plant yesterday. Because your facility had a machine-guarding citation on record within the last 5 years, inspectors routinely cross-reference similar equipment for potential Repeat classification ($165,514 maximum penalty). We assist Houston manufacturers with rapid pre-conference documentation. Do you have a few minutes this afternoon?”
Your next Harris County dispatch arrives tomorrow at 6:00 a.m. Central.
