What Is OSHA Consultation?
OSHA Consultation Services are a voluntary, no-cost program funded largely by Federal OSHA and administered by the Oklahoma Department of Labor. The program is separate from OSHA enforcement and exists for one purpose: to help employers keep workers safe and prevent injuries and fatalities.
Consultations are requested by the employer, confidential, and focused on solutions—not punishment.
Who Can Use OSHA Consultation?
Small businesses
Large employers
Any private-sector Oklahoma employer
While the program prioritizes small businesses, all Oklahoma employers are eligible.
