DOSH investigators who are denied access to inspect places for unsafe conditions:

• A. May Return with an Inspection Warrant Issued by a Judge
• B. May Issue a Citation Immediately
• C. May Deport the Owner
• D. May Post a Stop Work Order

Answer: (A)

When entry to a workplace is refused, the investigator relies on a legal remedy to gain access. The proper move is to return with an inspection warrant issued by a judge. This warrant authorizes entry to conduct an inspection for unsafe conditions, ensuring that safety violations can be investigated and addressed even without the owner's consent. Citations are not issued without conducting an inspection first, deportation is not within DOSH powers, and posting a Stop Work Order isn’t the standard response to a denial of access—the warrant is the formal step to compel entry and proceed with enforcement.
