In many cases, companies violate employee safety regulations. Violators might cut corners to save time or money, but they could end up paying significant fines if OSHA catches them. For instance, an employer receives anywhere from $975 to $13,653 in fines for serious violations of regulations. Offenses under the other-than-serious category also can cost up to $13,653 for every transgression. Several companies continuously ignore specific OSHA requirements. As a result, these companies can get a maximum of $136,532 per willful or repeated violation. The penalty can cost over $1 million in a few cases. A company has to correct each offense, or it will face further penalties. Construction employers can receive fines of up to $13,653 for each day they failed to fix a violation, for a maximum of 30 days. Additionally, violators could go to jail for a maximum of six months if a willful violation leads to a worker’s death. A second conviction can lead to up to a year in prison. Many construction workers feel as if the standards for production exceed the standards for safety.
