OSHA Penalties Now Exceed
$165,514 Per Serious Violation.
The Challenge
Penalties adjusted for inflation every year
OSHA penalties increase annually. What cost $7,000 in 2015 now costs $16,131 for other-than-serious and $165,514 for serious violations. The trend only goes up.
Repeat violations trigger willful classification
If you received a citation 5 years ago and OSHA finds the same hazard again, the citation is upgraded to repeat or willful. That turns a $16K fine into a $1.6M fine.
Multi-site employers face instance-by-instance penalties
If OSHA finds the same violation on 5 jobsites, you receive 5 separate penalties. At $165K each, that is $825K for one type of violation across your portfolio.
Penalty reductions require documented safety programs
OSHA can reduce penalties up to 40% for good faith, size, and history. But only if you can document an active safety program with records. Paper binders do not count.
