OSHA sets initial penalty amounts based on the gravity of the violation (severity and probability of injury).

Penalties may be further reduced through informal settlement conferences between the employer and the OSHA Area Director.

What is an OSHA referral inspection?

A referral inspection occurs when a federal or state agency, or another OSHA inspector, identifies a potential hazard and refers it to OSHA for follow-up.

Referral inspections are given priority below complaints but above programmed inspections.
