Topic: Preproposal (CR-101) – Worker Walk Around

Brief Description: The purpose of this rulemaking is to implement under Chapter 296-900 WAC, Administrative rules, the requirements of the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) regulation 29 CFR 1903.8, Representatives of employers and employees, which became effective on May 31, 2024, making L&I at least as effective as OSHA.

OSHA’s regulation, 29 CFR 1903.8, allows the employer and employees the right to authorize a representative to accompany OSHA officials during a workplace inspection. Employees can authorize another employee to serve as their representative or select a third party. If a third party is chosen, the OSHA official must be shown why a non-employee is reasonably necessary to accompany them on an inspection, including but not limited to, their knowledge, skills, or experience with similar workplace hazards or conditions. OSHA officials are authorized to deny the right of accompaniment of any person whose conduct obstructs an inspection from being performed fairly.
