HRCI SPHR Exam - Topic 3 Question 70 Discussion

Actual exam question for HRCI's SPHR exam
Question #: 70
Topic #: 3
[All SPHR Questions]

What is the purpose of the OSHA consulting service?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Answer option C is correct.

A Notice of Contest must be filed within 15 days of the citation. The OSH Act requires employers to allow the CSHO to inspect the workplace (D). Employers may request variances until repairs are made (A) or for processes that provide equal or greater safety for workers. Employers may consult with OSHA to identify possible hazards without fear of a citation or penalty (B); but once a consultant becomes involved, the employer must abate any violations, or the consultant will refer the violation to an OSHA inspector.

It's definitely not a one-time thing, though.

I definitely remember that OSHA doesn't fine employers through the consulting service, so D is definitely not right.

I remember practicing a question about OSHA services, and I think it was about identifying standards, so maybe A is correct?

Okay, I've got it - the OSHA consulting service helps employers identify the OSHA standards that apply to their workplace. That's the key purpose, I'm confident about that.

Fining employers for violating OSHA safety standards? I don't think that's the purpose of the consulting service. I'll have to think this through carefully.

The OSHA consulting service definitely doesn't require compliance with OSHA standards, right? I'm pretty sure that's not the purpose.

The question mentions that the logic might require more rules if expressed as a decision table. That's an important factor to consider when choosing between the two options.

I'm a bit confused by the question. Is the scope referring to the geographical reach of the service, or something else? I'll need to re-read the question carefully.

Haha, D) Fining employers? That's like the opposite of what OSHA consulting is supposed to do. They're there to help, not punish.
