    Brief/Memorandum in Support

    While OSHA may obtain a court- ordered warrant in such a circumstance, there is nothing in the OSH Act that grants OSHA the authority to issue citations or penalties to an employer if an employer refuses to grant OSHA access to its worksite for the purpose of an inspection. See generally 29 U.S.C. § 666. Indeed, while PJS has had four worksites inspected where the compliance officer was accompanied by non-employee representatives, it does not allege that it was threatened with civil penalties or business injuries if it refused to grant access to OSHA and the non-employee representative.

    ’ In particular, the State should be able to consider the significant impact on California jobs of allowing such pile-on actions; comparable claims are not permitted elsewhere. See, e.g., 29 U.S.C. § 666 (setting maximum federal civil penalties at $7,000, and up to $70,000 for a willful violation, which apply in the 28 states without an OSHA-approvedState Plan). Manufacturing is vital to California’s economy, particularly in the inland portions of the state. Statewide, manufacturers account for more than 10% of the total economic output and employ approximately 8% of the workforce.
