The job of the inspector is to find something. When I was a GE field Engineer, we had our office in a trailer, provided by the customer. OSHA did a site inspection. They found a refrigerator plugged into a cheater cord. The frig's cord was long enough to reach the outlet, so we fixed it. We didn't provide the frig, the trailer or setup the office.
GE was fined by OSHA for something stupid like $3000 for this!!! I know GE fought it even though it would be cheaper to pay the fine, because they did not want the record of an OSHA violation.
The stupid thing is, we fixed the problem, which we didn't create, as soon as it was pointed out. But OSHA wrote it up anyway.
