What To Consider When Deciding Whether To Contest An OSHA Citation
The following question was asked on Business Management Daily this past Saturday.
"Our company just received a citation from the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The proposed penalty is only $120. Is it worth getting a lawyer involved, or should we just go ahead and pay the fine?"
Michael Fox of Ogletree Deakins P.C. in Austin, Texas answered the question by saying, yes it is worth getting a lawyer involved. You can read his answer here.
