What is the punishment for not following OSHA standards?
Failure to comply with OSHA requirements can result in the company receiving a citation and a fine. In rare and limited cases involving death of an employee, company officers may be subject to criminal prosecution and jail time. Employees who do not comply with OSHA requirements are not punished by OSHA. But OSHA could punish the employing company for failing to enforce and ensure that OSHA standards are complied with. As a result, companies are expected to use their normal management and disciplinary process to ensure that employees comply with OSHA standards. Employees who do not comply may be counseled, suspended, have pay docked, or be demoted, transferred or fired, depending on the seriousness of the failure to comply and how often the employee has failed to comply.

What is the best way to get inspection from OSHA?
OSHA inspections tend to be complaint-driven and the business has to pay fines for each infraction. Businesses usually do not appreciate OSHA inspections because OSHA will almost always find something to count as a violation which costs money and requires correction. Since you say "best way", I'm guessing you are concerned that a particular firm is ignoring certain safety procedures and putting employees at risk. There is an OSHA Online Complaint Form that you can complete. If there is an emergency, fatality, or imminent life threatening situation, OSHA requests you contact their toll free number immediately: 1-800-321-OSHA (6742).
