title: Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission

description: When employers in the Commonwealth are cited for alleged violations of Kentucky's Occupational Safety and Health Act and Standards, the Kentucky Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission provides an opportunity for the contesting party to come to a hearing and defend against the citations and penalties. According to KRS 338.071, the KOSH Review Commission is an independent agency. The commission is composed of three members who are appointed by executive order of the governor. Each member is appointed based upon a specific area of expertise: one member represents the interests of employers, one represents the interests of employees and one represents the occupational safety and health profession. The members must have a minimum of five years' experience in their respective areas of expertise. This diversity assures that the interests of all litigants appearing before the commission are represented and that due process of law is provided with an even hand. The Commission operates under KRS 338 and 803 KAR 50.
