['Enforcement and Audits - OSHA']
When the OSHA compliance officer arrives at an establishment, he or she displays official credentials and asks to meet the safety and health manager or the owner of the establishment. If neither is available then the OSHA compliance officer will assign an employee as the employer’s representative. An OSHA compliance officer carries U.S. Department of Labor credentials bearing his or her photograph and a serial number that can be verified by calling the nearest OSHA office. Employers should always ask to see the officer’s credentials.
