osha citation abatement
Your Partner in OSHA Citation Abatement
Receiving an OSHA citation can be stressful and complicated, but you don’t have to navigate the process alone. E-ESCO will work directly with your company to evaluate the citation, develop a plan of action, and represent your interests throughout the resolution process. From requesting an informal conference and pursuing potential penalty reductions to filing appeals, negotiating settlements, and advising on proper abatement, we can help manage the process from start to finish. Once all citation items have been addressed, E-ESCO will assist with filing the necessary final documentation with OSHA to help close out the case and keep your company moving forward.
Our Process
Step one
Initial meeting about citation details and plan of action moving forward.
Step two
We request an informal conference with the OSHA Office Director to determine if a settlement can be reached out of court to reduce citation penalties.
step three
If a settlement can’t be reached in the informal conference, ESCO will appeal the citation with the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission to reach a settlement.
Step four
Once a settlement is reached, ESCO will advise your company on appropriate abatement of the citation items.
Step five
Once all items have been abated, ESCO will file the final report with OSHA to close out the case.
