Steps
Fetch current 29 CFR 1926.1412 text and locate the documentation subsection
Confirm required contents: items checked, inspection results, inspector's name and signature, and date
Confirm minimum retention period is 12 months for the documented inspection record
Check separately whether monthly inspection records carry a shorter retention window before assuming a single retention period applies to all categories
Advise the inspection company to retain records in a format retrievable on request by OSHA compliance officers
Known gotchas
Retention periods differ by inspection type — verify the exact figure for the specific inspection category rather than applying one blanket number across shift/monthly/annual records
Shift inspections generally require no written record unless a deficiency is found — do not assume every inspection tier needs a retained document
