What Rights Do You Have Under OSHA?What Rights Do You Have Under OSHA?
• You have the right to– A safe and healthful workplace – Know about hazardous chemicals– Information about injuries and illnesses in your workplace – Complain or request hazard correction from employer – Training– Hazard exposure and medical records– File a complaint with OSHA– Participate in an OSHA inspection– Be free from retaliation for exercising safety and health

23
What Standards Apply to the Oil and Gas Industry?What Standards Apply to the Oil and Gas Industry?
• OSHA doesn’t have a specific Oil and Gas Standard
• What standard applies depends on the work activity– Most Site Preparation work falls under 29 CFR
1926 Construction– Most Drilling and Production activities fall
under 29 CFR 1910 General Industry– In addition to OSHA
• API RP 54, Recommended Practice for Occupational Safety for Oil and Gas Well Drilling and Servicing Operations*
24
How Are OSHA Inspections Conducted?How Are OSHA Inspections Conducted?
• The OSH Act authorizes OSHA compliance safety and health officers (CSHO’s) to conduct workplace inspections at reasonable times
• OSHA conducts inspections without advance notice, except in rare circumstances (e.g. - imminent danger)
• In fact, anyone who tells an employer about an OSHA inspection in advance can receive fines and a jail term
