Built around federal 29 CFR 1910 and 1926 standards. Not legal advice. If your case involves a fatality, willful violations, or major penalty exposure, hire OSHA counsel. For many routine citations, the real bottleneck is getting the work and paperwork organized.

What still has to get done
The citation is only the start of the work.
Even after the contest decision, most employers still need to hit abatement dates, gather proof, line up Owner Handoff, and close out the paperwork cleanly.
Per-item deadlines
Abatement dates
Each item has its own date. Missed or unverified abatement can be re-cited as failure-to-abate.
5-year window
Repeat exposure
Repeat violations within 5 years can be penalized up to 10× the base amount. Resolve the first one properly.
Every item
Certifications
OSHA often requires written abatement certification. Missing paperwork leads to follow-on citations.
This is the work the product is built around: what to fix, what proof to gather, who owns each item, and what needs to be ready before closeout.
How it works
Three steps. Preview first.
1STEP 01

What you walk away with
Six outcomes, not six features.
The packet is designed around the abatement and documentation decisions you have to make, not just the data we extracted.
You won't miss the real work dates
Abatement and certification dates are assembled and exported before you close the tab. Contest timing still appears when it matters.
You'll know what to gather
Per-item proof list covering photos, training records, inspection logs, written programs, and work records, in language a site manager can execute.
Your team will know who owns what
Each item is routed to EHS, maintenance, HR, operations, or an outside consultant, with Owner Handoff ready to share.
You'll know what matters first
Earliest due items, biggest penalties, documentation-heavy issues, and low-confidence items are surfaced first.
You can answer your team's questions
Every citation item comes with an operational summary and the exact standard cited, in plain English.
You'll have a clean paper trail

How it compares
Your options after a citation.
OSHA Action Packet isn't a replacement for an attorney on serious cases. It's the organized starting point most employers never build.

If your citation involves a fatality, willful violations, or significant penalty exposure, talk to an OSHA attorney. For most other citations, the gap isn't legal strategy. It's organization and speed.
An administrative tool, not a law firm
Most citations don't need more confusion. They need a clean operational plan.
OSHA Action Packet doesn't file anything with OSHA, draft legal arguments, or represent you in proceedings. We structure your citation into an abatement and documentation workflow your team can actually execute. That's the gap that hurts small employers most.
Who it's for
Built for the people who have to get the work done.
Business owners who got their first citation and don't know what's required by when.
Operations managers who need to assign corrective actions across sites quickly.
Safety coordinators who need a faster way to turn citations into Owner Handoff, proof lists, and closeout steps.
HR / admin leads who track deadlines, collect training records, and distribute tasks across departments.
Federal OSHA citations only at launch. State-plan support coming soon.
By standard
Cited under a specific standard?
We've written standard-specific guides for the most-cited federal OSHA standards. Jump in for abatement stakes, common items, typical owners, and sample proof.
1926.501Top 1
Fall Protection
Because the condition is visible, OSHA can document multiple edge, hole, roof, or leading-edge exposures in one walkaround. Employers usually end up managing both field corrections and a strong paper trail for closeout.
See abatement guide
1910.1200Top 2
Hazard Communication (HazCom)
Chemical handling touches many departments, so OSHA often finds gaps in written programs, SDS access, secondary-container labels, and training records during the same inspection.
See abatement guide
1926.1053Top 3
Ladders
OSHA can quickly document extension, condition, securing, and training gaps during routine site observation. That usually leads to both field corrections and recordkeeping work.
See abatement guide
1910.134Top 4
Respiratory Protection
Respirators are often handed out before the supporting program is current. OSHA then finds missing medical records, overdue fit tests, weak program administration, or untracked voluntary use.
See abatement guide
1926.451Top 5
Scaffolding
Scaffold conditions are visible and change fast, so OSHA often cites access, planking, fall protection, and training gaps together. The fix is usually operational discipline plus daily records.
See abatement guide
1910.147Top 6
Lockout/Tagout
Facilities with multiple machines often rely on generic procedures or informal practices. OSHA then finds missing procedure detail, skipped annual audits, and training records that do not match the equipment actually serviced.
See abatement guide
1910.178Top 7
Powered Industrial Trucks
Forklift programs break when operators change, evaluations are not documented, or pre-shift checks are handled informally. OSHA can usually see those gaps quickly from interviews, records, and truck condition.
See abatement guide
1926.503Top 8
Fall Protection Training
OSHA often pairs a fall protection equipment citation with a training citation when workers cannot explain the system, rescue steps, or hazard-recognition requirements.
See abatement guide
1926.102Top 9
Eye & Face Protection
Grinding, welding, cutting, demolition, and chemical tasks create visible exposure. OSHA frequently finds the wrong protection, missing side shields, or no written basis for the PPE decision.
See abatement guide
1910.212Top 10
Machine Guarding
Guarding issues are visible, and OSHA can document multiple machines in one visit. The follow-up work usually includes hardware correction, before-and-after proof, and lockout coordination.
See abatement guide
FAQ
Common questions
What if my contest window already passed?
The product is still useful. Most employers still need to manage abatement dates, gather proof, line up Owner Handoff, and prepare written documentation after the contest window. If you think contest may still be open, confirm the receipt date and talk to counsel quickly.
Do you file anything with OSHA for me?
No. OSHA Action Packet is an administrative tool, not a law firm or authorized representative. We organize the packet, checklists, templates, and handoff materials you need. You or your attorney handle any filing.
Is OSHA Action Packet legal advice?
No. If your citation involves a fatality, willful violations, or major penalty exposure, hire an OSHA attorney. For many routine citations, the main problem is not legal theory. It is getting the abatement work, proof, and paperwork organized before follow-up deadlines pass.
What proof of abatement should I organize?
That depends on the item, but common proof includes photos, work orders, invoices, training rosters, written programs, inspection logs, and supervisor signoff. The full packet maps likely proof needs item by item.
Do you include templates or worksheets?
Yes. When the citation maps cleanly to supported issue types, the packet includes matching templates and worksheets such as HazCom, forklift, lockout/tagout, or respiratory documents. Unsupported citations are never charged.
What file formats does OSHA Action Packet support?
Standard federal OSHA citation PDFs (Form OSHA-2). Scanned images, state-plan citations, and other document types are not supported yet. Upload is free to check.
What if my citation isn't supported?
You will see a clear message during the free preview scan and never pay. You can upload a different citation or request notification when support expands.
How fast is the full packet delivered?
Most packets are ready within 2 to 5 minutes of payment. You can close the tab and return later. We email you when it is ready.
Can I share the packet with my team or consultant?
Yes. Download the Packet PDF, CSVs, Calendar (.ics), included template packs, or the Full Packet ZIP and distribute them as needed. Web access is tied to secure email sign-in.
How does billing work?
One-time payment per citation. Most cases are $349. Some simple cases qualify for a lower price after the free preview. No subscription. You keep indefinite access to the packet under Your cases.
