To prove a violation for failing to adequate train employees, OHSA must show that the employer failed to instruct employees in the following areas:
1) How to recognize and avoid the unsafe conditions that they may encounter on the job
2) The regulations applicable to hazardous conditions they may encounter on the job

inadequate training ?

Just what they charged you with. The facts backing up the alleged violations

Nothing. The prove is the burden of the company. If OSHA sites you, it has reasons for it and you have to prove that those reasons are uncalled for – OSHA only has to prove that it was there to see what reasons it had for stating that in the first place. My suggestion is that you find out what training the employees need and get in compliance immediately.

Only that your employees are not doing the jobs in the safe manner they are do be done with

OSHA doesn't have to prove anything the employer must provide documented training papers, where I work we have to sign that we have been trained in the safety of what we are working with.

They can ask for training records of your company for safety procedures training on the employees. They can directly ask employees about safety procedures. And they can actually ask for the written procedures. There is no way you can train if you dont have a policy or safety procedure.
You know, all this kind of stuff. MSDS available, right to know trainings etc. Too many areas where an employer can fail.

Nothing. What can you prove to me later on tonight?

If OSHA asks you for training records for your employees and they do not exist, or is you provide those records but the OSHA official observes employees acting contrary to company policy they can cite you for inadequate training. However, that citation would indicate failure to meet the regulation that required the training or would be cited under the General Duty Clause.
So OSHA would have to observe the employee not acting according to a specific OSHA standard, or observe an employee not following a stated company procedure.
