During an OSHA ______, workers have the right to talk privately with the inspector.

• A. Inspection
• B. Interview
• C. Audit
• D. Investigation

Answer: (A)

OSHA inspections are the formal on-site checks used to verify a workplace’s compliance with safety standards. During this process, workers have the right to talk privately with the inspector so they can raise hazards, concerns, or questions without influence or pressure from supervisors. This private dialogue helps the inspector get an accurate picture of conditions and practices and supports a truthful evaluation. An interview can be part of the inspection, but the explicit privacy right is tied to the inspection itself. An audit is a broader review, not the specific OSHA visit, and an investigation is usually started after a incident or complaint and follows its own procedures.
