Okay, it's not as bad as it sounds. OSHA requires that workplaces which fall within certain guidelines have an evaluation for workplace hazzards, normally this is a self evaluation utizling OSHA's form, but in your case I can't be sure. Sometimes (Depending on your type of business) it's as simple as MSDS sheets and other times depending on your type of business very time consuming. But, tell bossie to quit worrying, he's not done a work place evaluation. He's probably gonna pay another fine and certainly it needs to be done prior to your deadline. The question is, can it be done in house or must it be done by a certified consultant? I can't answer that one for you. Your best bet is to do a bit of net searching and find some safety companies who are heavily involved with OSHA specs and other items, and see if you can get them to answer this question for you.
there ARE forms for self evaluation located on the OSHA Website, but again i can't be sure if they will fulfill your mandated requirements sooooo, heres a bit of rope tossed in your direction... A list of consultants in who specialize in Nevada OSHA compliance.

Hope this helps, let me know!
