a. Notification
To enforce state standards L&I conducts compliance
inspections, either unscheduled or in response to employee
complaints. Advance notice of these inspections is prohibited
by law. Compliance inspectors will contact EH&S to identify
those activities to be inspected and to obtain an escort.
The University departments involved will be notified by EH&S.
If an L&I inspector arrives to inspect a department without
an EH&S representative, the department should contact EH&S,
206–543–7262, immediately and advise the inspector
to await the arrival of the EH&S representative.
b. Inspection Participants
The following persons may accompany an L&I inspector
throughout an inspection and during the entrance and exit
briefings:
-
A representative of EH&S.
A management representative, designated by the organizational
unit.
An employee representative selected by the employees
within the unit. If employees do not elect to designate
a representative, the inspector will interview employees
at random during the inspection.
