In what situations would osha provide advanced notice of a visit to a worksite?

OSHA may provide advanced notice of a visit to a worksite in situations such as when the inspection is part of a planned program or initiative targeting specific industries or hazards, or when the inspection involves a consultation request. Additionally, advance notice may be given for inspections related to imminent danger situations, where workers could be at risk, and when facilitating compliance assistance is more beneficial for both the employer and employee. However, routine inspections typically occur without prior notice to ensure genuine conditions are observed.
