FAQs
What are OSHA penalties?
OSHA penalties are fines and sanctions imposed by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) when employers in the United States fail to comply with established safety and health regulations to protect workers from harm.
How does OSHA determine the amount of a penalty?
The amount of an OSHA penalty depends on several factors, including the severity of the violation, the size of the business, the company's compliance history, and whether the violation was willful or repeated. Penalties are adjusted to incentivize compliance and deter future violations.
Can OSHA penalties lead to criminal charges?
Yes, in severe cases, particularly where willful violations result in worker deaths or serious injuries, OSHA violations can lead to criminal charges against responsible parties, including company executives and managers.
What should an employer do if they receive an OSHA citation?
If an employer receives an OSHA citation, they should review it carefully, comply with any immediate safety orders, consider whether to contest the citation, and take steps to correct the cited conditions. Employers may also seek legal advice to better understand their rights and obligations.
