As it stands right now in this thread the 25 rule is only hearsay, can anybody post the backup.

Reno, I have seen an OSHA inspection team stay on a job site until a search warrant was obtained, (only a matter of a couple hours) all the refusale to let them inspect did was, delay them and make them mad, which made the fines maximum for the particular contractor.

Here in NC we do have a state OSHA and I know of a case where they were refused access to a site on federal controlled land, the very next morning Federal OSHA was on the site. I must of only taken a phone call.
