Does New York have its own OSHA program?

Accepted Answer

New York operates a partial state plan through the New York State Department of Labor (NYSDOL PESH program). This plan covers state and local government workers only. Private-sector employers in New York are covered by federal OSHA, which conducts inspections and enforces standards directly. New York City also has its own Department of Buildings that enforces construction safety requirements.

Question 3

What is a Serious violation under OSHA?

Accepted Answer

A Serious violation is cited when there is a substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result from a hazard, and the employer knew or should have known about the condition. Serious violations carry mandatory penalties. For 2025, the maximum penalty for a serious violation is $16,550 per violation. The actual amount may be adjusted based on factors including employer size, good faith efforts, and violation history.

Question 4

What is an Other-than-Serious violation?

Accepted Answer

An Other-than-Serious violation is cited when a hazard exists that could cause injury or illness but would not likely result in death or serious physical harm. These violations carry a maximum penalty of $16,550 per violation for 2025, though penalties are discretionary and may be reduced to zero. Common examples include recordkeeping deficiencies and posting requirements.

Question 5

How does OSHA calculate penalty amounts?

Accepted Answer

OSHA sets initial penalty amounts based on the gravity of the violation (severity and probability of injury). Penalties are then adjusted based on three factors: employer size (smaller employers may receive reductions), good faith (employers with effective safety programs), and violation history (employers with no recent prior violations). Penalties may be further reduced through informal settlement conferences between the employer and the OSHA Area Director.

Question 6

What is an OSHA referral inspection?

Accepted Answer

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. Referrals can come from other government agencies during their own inspections, from media reports, or from other OSHA inspections that identify hazards outside their scope. Referral inspections are given priority below complaints but above programmed inspections.
