Compliance with OSHA regulations is essential for facility managers in order to minimize the risk of accidents and injuries in the workplace. However, compliance with these safety standards is often overlooked on the job site. Common OSHA violations in facility management are often related to personal protective equipment, fall protection, hazard communication, fire extinguishers and more. Organizations that violate the standards can be penalized with citations and fines costing upwards of $15,000. Repeated violations can cost as high as $156,000 per violation.

To help facility managers and engineers better comply with OSHA regulations, fnPrime is hosted an "Ask the Expert" virtual session with Julie Sobelman, senior environmental health and safety consultant.

For 35 years, Julie has partnered with clients to minimize risks and achieve environmental health and safety objectives, and ensure the delivery of high-quality EHS compliance and management systems services by developing written programs, performing assessments and compliance audits, and delivering training.
