[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4014581, member: 5412"] Two of the OSHA inspections we went through at Smith Tool was upon request by the company as they were trying to achieve, I think it was blue star status where OSHA would not do an unannounced inspection for something like 10 years. We had just completed a 250,000 sq' building and had an electrical company out of Wichita do a complete electrical upgrade so they company felt they had a shot at getting the reward. The inspector was a graduate safety engineer out of OSU that was contracted to do the inspection. First place he went was the tool room to inspect hand tools, got gigged for not having the tool rests within 1/8" of the stone on some pedestal grinders and gigged us on not having containment around the new and waste oil drums. Never looked at anything electrical nor any safeties on some of the machine tools that had been wired off for years that would allow doors to be opened for chip removal while the machines was running and so on. I could go on for hours on things they missed. The inspector on the second inspection after 2 weeks found everything he had found to be corrected so the company got the exemption. He looked no further on the second inspection. [/QUOTE]
