As many of you may know through experience, many organizations and individuals try to pray upon the fears of others to benefit themselves. These people may call you, send you mail, or come right to your door with formal, legal-looking information saying you need to do this and that to be in compliance and they can help you. Beware my friend as many of these are nothing more than money-making rackets. What I suggest to any small business owner who has one of these self-proclaimed saviors contact them is to do some research. Well, I encourage you to contact the OSHA-funded Consultation Office in your state or heck write me.
Every state has a consultation service and the service is free.
Don't worry about the office reporting you to OSHA or anything. They don't do that for asking questions. The only way they would refer you is if you absolutely, positively refuse to correct a serious violation of OSHA regualtions. In any case, they still will not refer you for asking questions. For more details, talk to you area OSHA Consultation Office or read OSHA's explanation of the consultation service.
