Inspection-Ready Toolbox
Be audit-ready before OSHA shows up: what your state cites, the inspection kit, self-audit checklist, compliance score, SDS gap analysis, weekly site inspection, competent-person designation, corrective-action plan, and a subcontractor records request.
What this covers
OSHA inspections are generally unannounced, and advance notice is prohibited except in narrow circumstances (29 CFR 1903.6). Being inspection-ready means your written program, SDS access, container labels, and training records are current and retrievable on the spot. This pack runs you through a self-audit, a compliance score, an SDS gap check, a weekly walk, a corrective-action plan, and a subcontractor records request.

Frequently asked questions
Can OSHA show up without warning?
Yes. Most inspections are unannounced; giving advance notice of an OSHA inspection without authorization is itself prohibited (1903.6). The best defense is keeping your program and records current rather than scrambling.
What HazCom documents will a compliance officer ask for?
Typically the written HazCom program, the chemical inventory, safety data sheets, evidence that containers are labeled, and training records. Having these organized and accessible is the difference between a smooth visit and citations.
What's the fastest way to find my gaps before an inspection?
Run the HazCom Audit Checklist and the SDS Gap Analyzer first — they surface missing SDSs, unlabeled containers, and program gaps. Then use the corrective-action plan to prioritize fixes by risk.
Planning aids only — not legal advice. Confirm every determination against the current OSHA standard and your State-Plan's rules.
