Conduct a head-to-toe investigation of that workplace as though you were an OSHA inspector. You will identify potential issues, address any current or past complaints, and formulate a plan on how your workplace can either return to OSHA compliance OR remain within OSHA compliance.
Should you require a bit of direction on how to conduct a thorough investigation playing the part of an OSHA inspector, you can reference the below link, which is an OSHA published Checklist for Compliance.
OSHA Checklist for Compliance (https://www.osha.gov/sites/default/files/2018-12/fy11_sh-22318-11_Mod_1_OSHAinspectionchecklist.pdf)
If you are unable to find a local business who will allow you access to their operation to examine and conduct this investigation, notify your professor, and additional assistance may be offered to locate a company who will partner with you.
This will include (but not be limited to) the following elements:
• Photograph evidence of workplace hazards that you noticed (if any)
• Explanation of the potential violations you could foresee should that place of business not address the issue
• A rundown of any past or current OSHA violations that place of business may be associated with, and how those issues were addressed.
• Recommendations that you would make for that place of business to remain within OSHA compliance
• Adaptations that you would make for the place to business to avoid any OSHA ramifications
