Safety Council Meeting - February 2026

February 17, 2026 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM (EST)

Description

MEETING TOPIC: What to do when OSHA shows up? A perspective from an ex-OSHA Area Director

Presented by: Howie Eberts, VP Expert Witness - SCR Safety Solutions

When OSHA shows up, knowing what to expect can make all the difference. At our February Safety Council meeting, we’re bringing you a real-world perspective from someone who’s been on the other side of the table. Howie Eberts, former OSHA Area Director and now VP and Expert Witness with SCR Safety Solutions, will walk you through what actually triggers OSHA inspections, why they happen, and what your rights and responsibilities are when an inspector arrives. You’ll leave with practical guidance on how to respond calmly, professionally, and effectively, so an OSHA visit doesn’t have to feel overwhelming for you or your team.
