Several changes are about to occur for employers regarding contesting OSHA citations. The updated OSHRC Rules of Procedure, which will go into effect on June 10, 2019, were last revised in 2005. Please remember that these rules impact employers with citations issued under Federal OSHA. Those employers in or with citations issued in state plan states are still controlled by the procedure in their states. Many of the time periods for taking action are being changed. Some of these time periods will encompass calendar days instead of “working days”. E-filing will be preferred; but service by mail will be permitted.
