What must employers do in Abatement Certification?

Employers are required to notify OSHA within 10 calendar days after the abatement date that each cited violation has been corrected. This requirement ensures that employers are held accountable for addressing identified hazards in a timely manner and confirms compliance with OSHA regulations. Timely notification allows OSHA to verify that abatement actions have been taken, which is crucial for maintaining workplace safety and preventing future violations.

This process is part of OSHA's enforcement mechanisms and helps ensure that all necessary steps have been taken to eliminate or correct hazardous conditions. By reporting the correction of violations promptly, employers contribute to a safer work environment and show their commitment to compliance with safety standards.
