Why do some OSHA inspections result in zero penalties?

Not every OSHA inspection results in penalties. Inspections may find no violations, or the violations cited may be classified as Other-than-Serious with penalties reduced or waived. OSHA considers several factors when determining penalties, including employer size (small employers receive reductions), good faith efforts (having an effective safety program), and history (first-time offenders may receive lower penalties).

What rights do employers have during an OSHA inspection?

Employers have several rights during OSHA inspections. They can request to see the inspector's credentials, accompany the inspector during the walkaround, request a warrant if they do not consent to the inspection, and take notes during the process. After receiving citations, employers can request an informal conference with OSHA to discuss findings, and they have 15 working days to formally contest any citations or proposed penalties.

What happens after OSHA issues a citation?

After OSHA issues citations, the employer has 15 working days to respond. They can accept the citation and pay the penalty, request an informal conference to negotiate penalties or abatement dates, or formally contest the citation before the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission (OSHRC). If the employer contests only the penalty amount, they must still correct (abate) the cited hazards by the deadline. If the employer contests the citation itself, the abatement obligation is stayed pending the outcome of the contest proceedings.

How often does OSHA update its penalty amounts?

OSHA adjusts maximum penalty amounts annually based on the Consumer Price Index, as required by the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act. The most recent adjustment took effect in January 2025, setting the maximum for willful and repeat violations at $165,514 and for serious and other-than-serious violations at $16,550. These maximums apply to penalties assessed after the adjustment date, regardless of when the inspection occurred.
