Book a demo →Understanding OSHA Citations
OSHA issues citations when workplace inspections reveal violations of safety and health standards. Each citation specifies the standard violated, the nature of the hazard, a proposed penalty amount, and a deadline for abatement.
Violation Types
- Serious: A hazard that could cause death or serious physical harm, and the employer knew or should have known about it. Penalties up to $16,550 per violation.
- Willful: The employer intentionally and knowingly committed a violation, or was indifferent to the law. Penalties from $11,823 to $165,514 per violation.
- Repeat: A violation of the same or substantially similar standard within the past 5 years. Penalties up to $165,514 per violation.
- Other-Than-Serious: A violation directly related to job safety and health, but unlikely to cause death or serious harm. Penalties up to $16,550.
- Failure to Abate: Failure to correct a previously cited violation by the prescribed abatement date. Penalties up to $16,550 per day.
How Corrective Action Tracking Prevents Citations
Most OSHA citations stem from known hazards that were never properly tracked or resolved. A continuous corrective action system ensures every identified hazard gets assigned, tracked, and closed — creating the documented evidence trail that OSHA auditors look for during inspections.
Data sourced from OSHA public enforcement records. Penalty amounts reflect proposed penalties at the time of citation and may be adjusted through informal settlement or contest proceedings. Updated regularly. See OSHA Data for official records.
