Which Part of the OSHA Standards is specifically designated for Inspections?

The part of the OSHA standards that specifically addresses inspections is 1903. This section outlines the procedures and requirements for OSHA inspections and enforcement actions. It establishes the authority of OSHA inspectors to enter workplaces to assess compliance with safety standards and ensure that workers are being provided a safe and healthful working environment.

Part 1903 details the process, including how inspections are initiated, the rights of both employees and employers during inspections, and the potential outcomes of these inspections, such as citations for violations. This framework is crucial for maintaining workplace safety standards.

The other parts mentioned relate to different aspects of OSHA regulations; for instance, 1902 deals with the organization and responsibilities of OSHA itself, while 1904 focuses on recording and reporting occupational injuries and illnesses. As such, they do not pertain specifically to the inspection process like 1903 does.
