Q. I received an email from OSHA asking whether I was still interested in my 2018 request, which was found after a “clean-up” of their system. I responded that I wanted the records sent to me, but I haven’t received them. What’s going on?
A. My strong hunch is that OSHA did not have copies of the requested records on hand when it sent you the “still interested” email. It likely was waiting for your response before beginning its search. How long it will take OSHA to complete your request is impossible to predict. You might consider contacting the agency and asking for an estimated completion date.
