This page shows how OSHA civil penalties are distributed by the size of the penalty initially assessed, across all violations with a recorded penalty in the public OSHA enforcement data. Bands are based on the initial assessed penalty. The current amount on record is often lower after settlements and other proceedings. Figures are aggregate totals, not a ranking of employers.
Records current through Aug 7, 2026
| Initial Penalty Range | Violations | Current Penalties |
|---|---|---|
| Under $1,000 | 3,094,867 | $868,851,132 |
| $1,000 - $5,000 | 1,587,270 | $2,475,193,371 |
| $5,000 - $15,000 | 280,980 | $1,522,801,546 |
| $15,000 - $50,000 | 48,501 | $718,226,992 |
| Over $50,000 | 12,770 | $633,624,689 |
Violations initially assessed over $50,000 account for 12,770 violations (0.3% of violations with a penalty) and $1,059,468,311 in initial penalties. Current amounts on record are often lower after settlements and other proceedings. These are aggregate figures across all inspected employers and do not identify or rank any employer.
This page groups every violation with a recorded initial penalty into size ranges based on the initial assessed amount, and shows the count, the total initial penalties, and the total current penalties in each range. Current penalty totals reflect the most recent figures on record and may be lower than the initial assessment after informal conferences, settlements, or other proceedings. Figures are aggregate only and do not name or rank employers. Data sourced from the OSHA violation table in the U.S. Department of Labor enforcement data API. Records are synced daily.
Data Source and Methodology
Data synced dailyData on this page comes from the U.S. Department of Labor's OSHA enforcement database, accessed via the DOL public data API. Records are updated daily. We strive for accuracy, but errors in data processing or establishment grouping are possible. Penalty amounts reflect the latest penalty amounts on record in the DOL database and may differ from initial assessments or final amounts after informal conference, settlement, or judicial review. Company pages group inspection records by normalized employer name, city, and state as reported in OSHA records. That grouping is deterministic and non-fuzzy, but it is not a universal legal-entity identifier. If you believe any record is inaccurate, please report it and we will investigate. This product uses the DOL Data API but is not endorsed or certified by the DOL. For official and authoritative records, visit osha.gov.
