You can request an informal conference during that period, but it does not extend the deadline. In Michigan, where MIOSHA covers most employers, you have 15 working days after receiving a citation to petition MIOSHA for an informal appeal, and a further 15 working days to appeal the department’s decision.
Federal OSHA recognizes the employer’s right to require compliance officers to obtain an inspection warrant before entering. If entry is refused, OSHA can seek a warrant or other legal process. Most companies are better served by cooperating, staying professional and accompanying the inspector throughout the visit.
