OSHA Claus Is Coming To Town
A Facility Management-Inspired Interpretation
By Charles Carpenter, CFM
(To be sung to the tune of “Santa Claus Is Coming To Town”
by Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters -1943 version)

You better watch out, you better comply.
Better not doubt, I’m telling you why,
OSHA Claus is comin’ to town!
He’s making a list and checking your site,
He’s gonna find out whether to indict.
OSHA Claus is comin’ to town!
He sees your fall protection,
He knows when you tagout.
He knows your Safety Data Sheets,
So be good when he’s about.
So, you better watch out, you better comply.
Better not doubt, I’m telling you why,
OSHA Claus is comin’ to town!
Your confined spaces and old oily drums,
Better be labeled or go pop-a Tums.
OSHA Claus is comin’ to town!
Check Standard: Nineteen Ten Point Two One Two,
And Respiratory Protection too.
OSHA Claus is comin’ to town!
The kids in the machine shop
will have a jubilee,
If they avoid a finger chop
Cutting down a Christmas tree!
You better watch out, you better comply.
Better not doubt, I’m telling you why,
OSHA Claus is comin’ to town!
He sees your fall protection,
He knows when you tagout.
He knows your Safety Data Sheets.
So be good when he’s about!
You better watch out, you better comply.
Better not doubt, I’m telling you why,
OSHA Claus is comin’ to town!
You better watch out, you better comply.
Better not doubt, I’m telling you why,
OSHA Claus is comin’
(You mean the inspector with the long clip board?)
He’s coming to town!
