OSHA's enforcement record shows Failure to Abate (FTA) activity recorded against 1 citation issued in this inspection. An FTA penalty is assessed during a follow-up inspection when OSHA's records indicate a previously cited hazard was not corrected by the abatement date. Each row below shows the FTA fields published on the original citation record: the follow-up inspection number, the FTA issuance date, the FTA penalty amount, and any FTA contest or final order date on record.

Penalty amounts may differ from final amounts after settlement or judicial review. How to read these records

About these records

A company page groups inspections with the same normalized employer name, city and state; it is not a legal-entity identifier (how pages are grouped).

This page displays public OSHA enforcement data. Status text follows the DOL inspection record first and may include citation-level context when the inspection feed and citation records are out of sync. Penalty amounts shown reflect the latest penalty amounts on record in the DOL database and may differ from initial assessments or final amounts. This is not an official OSHA resource.

OSHA's public enforcement data does not publish a "guilty" or "not guilty" field for inspections. The closest outcome fields available are the citation counts, penalty amounts, contest dates, final-order dates, and the inspection close date shown on this page. How to interpret these status fields. How initial and current penalties are recorded.

OSHA may publish multiple citation rows in the same inspection with the same standard and penalty fields. Separate rows can still differ in OSHA metadata such as citation identifier, recorded instance count, exposed workers, or gravity value. Contest and Final Order columns show citation-level dates from OSHA's enforcement record. A dash means OSHA's record does not currently show that activity for the citation.

Source: U.S. Department of Labor OSHA enforcement data, violations table fields fta_insp_nr, fta_issuance_date, fta_penalty, fta_contest_date, fta_final_order_date. The FTA follow-up inspection is linked via fta_insp_nr to the inspection activity number (exact government key). When the follow-up inspection is not currently on record in SafetyRecord, the inspection number is shown without a link.

Understanding These Penalties

The maximum penalty for a serious violation in 2025 is $16,550 per violation. For willful violations, the range is $11,823 to $165,514. The current penalty column shows the latest amount on record in OSHA's database for each citation. When the current penalty differs from the initial penalty, OSHA's records show that the amount changed during the enforcement process, but this page does not determine the specific reason for each change. Penalty amounts are set by OSHA and adjusted annually for inflation.
