What rights do inspectors have when inspecting a facility under Class 314?

• A. Right to arrest employees on site.
• B. Right to access records, areas where hazards may exist, interview employees, and request disclosure of compliance documents.
• C. Right to publish inspection results without notice.
• D. Right to modify facility equipment.

Answer: (B)

The main idea is that inspectors gather information to determine if a facility is following safety rules. During Class 314 inspections they are empowered to access records such as training logs, maintenance and safety program documents; they can enter areas where hazards may exist to observe conditions and controls; they can interview employees to verify training and actual practices; and they can request disclosure of compliance documents like permits, certifications, and prior inspection reports. This combination lets the inspector verify that written programs match what’s happening on the floor and that hazards are being properly managed.

Arresting employees isn’t part of a routine inspection; that’s a law enforcement action outside the standard inspection scope. Publishing inspection results without notice would bypass the formal process and due notice typically required in enforcement actions. Modifying facility equipment isn’t within the inspector’s authority either; they identify deficiencies and may issue corrective actions or enforcement orders, but they don’t physically alter equipment.
