Defense Package: Automated OSHA Citation & Litigation Evidence Export

# Defense Package: Your Automated OSHA Citation Response System

When OSHA issues a citation, you have 15 working days to contest. Every hour spent digging through filing cabinets and calling jobsite foremen for records is an hour you're not building your defense. And if you miss the 15-day window, the citation becomes a final order—no appeal, full penalty.

HazComFast's Defense Package system generates a complete evidence bundle in minutes, not days.

What Is a Defense Package?

A defense package is a comprehensive, organized collection of safety records that demonstrates your company's compliance with the cited OSHA standard. It includes:

SDS access logs proving chemicals were "readily accessible"

Training records with dates, topics, and worker signatures

Read Proof confirmations showing workers acknowledged specific SDSs

Chemical inventory with GHS classification data

Label compliance evidence (GHS labels generated and applied)

Inspection records for the cited jobsite

Corrective action history showing ongoing safety improvement

Near miss reports demonstrating proactive hazard identification

Equipment inspection records if applicable

Permit records (hot work, confined space, excavation)

Audit logs showing consistent, systematic compliance
