OSHA CITATIONS, SORTED FOR INDUSTRIAL SAFETY CONTRACTORS

OSHA cites plants every day. You get the ones worth a call.

When OSHA cites a plant, the plant must fix the hazard by a set date. We read the public records every day and drop the citations you can't sell into. Each plant that needs your kind of work goes on one page, while its deadline is still ahead. Part of this runs every day and part is still done by hand. This site says which.

01 · Money

Win paid work. Waste fewer calls.

Cited plants must fix the hazard by a set date, and fixing it is often paid work for a contractor. The cards aim to help you find that work with less time and less money.

A job with a deadline.

Each card is a plant that must fix a specific hazard by a set date. That is a job with a deadline and a real reason to call. The card shows the days left, so you know how much time you have.

No calls with nothing behind them.

We drop citations for paperwork, for hazards already fixed, and for work outside your trade. You don't spend time on plants that have nothing for you to fix.

Say what you would fix.

Each card names the cited hazard and the OSHA standard. Before you call, you know exactly what you would fix.

No bought lists.

Every card comes from a public OSHA record and links to it. You don't pay for a list of names.

We can't promise you will win any job. Open cases are allegations, and every card says so. Use a card as a reason to offer help, not to accuse.

How it works, in full

03 · The problem

The plant gets a deadline. You may not hear about it.

An inspector may cite a plant for an unguarded press, an open edge, or a machine with no way to lock it out. The records are public, but they sit among everything else OSHA publishes. Most of that is no use to you.

FROM INSPECTION TO FIX-BY DATE · ILLUSTRATIVE

INSPECTION
CITATION ISSUED
THE PLANT MUST FIX THE HAZARD BEFORE THE DUE DATE
YOUR CARD ARRIVES
FIX-BY DATE
DEADLINE PASSED
The time allowed is set on each citation. If the employer contests the citation, the clock pauses, and the card says so.

You hear late.

Word of a citation travels slowly. By the time it reaches you, the deadline may be close, or someone else may already have the job.

You can't read it all.

OSHA publishes records every day. Most are paperwork, gear or hazards outside your trade. Sorting them takes real time.

04 · What you get

We do the reading. You get one page per plant.

Every day we collect the public OSHA records for your states and drop the citations that aren't work for you. A person checks the plants that are left. Each one worth a call becomes an Opportunity Card. That is a single page with the facts, the deadline and the sources.

D Why it fits

Guarding a line of mechanical presses at the point of operation is design, fabrication and installation work that a plant this size usually hires out. The plant's website lists a line of several mechanical presses. [2]
