The General Counsel is required to submit reports identifying violations, describing the steps necessary to achieve their abatement, and assessing the associated risk to employee safety and health. The General Counsel also enforces OSH standards through requests for inspection brought by covered employees . Another function of the General Counsel is to inspect facilities for violations of Titles II and Ill of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Persons with disabilities may file a charge with the General Counsel for violations of the ADA.

Workplaces and work operations to be inspected include: warehouses, workshops, special collection storage facilities, office spaces, electrical and mechanical spaces, landscaping, equipment operations, high voltage equipment maintenance, permit required confined space entry and more. Assignment of work is based on qualifications and priorities set by the Office of Compliance.
