OSHA can definitely just show up and inspect a workplace. And now, Kate Brown has weaponized OSHA so I have no reason to doubt the person that told me this.
Ah...maybe Oregon has a OSHA-like arm like us in Virginia where federal OSHA just says "Hey, VA/OR, your state OSHA can act as our agents and enforce our rules".
We get randomly inspected by Virginia OSHA (VOSH), but never by federal OSHA. I've been on jobs where the feds show up b/c some dude died or whatever, but in 25 years never just a random federal OSHA inspection. Guess I'm just lucky!
