Breakdown by classification
6violations total
Willful233%

A Willful violation is one OSHA determined the employer committed with intentional disregard for, or plain indifference to, the OSH Act. It carries the highest civil penalty — up to ~$165,000 per violation. Willful violations are rare and signal the most serious workplace safety failures.

Repeat117%

A Repeat violation means OSHA cited the employer for a substantially similar violation within the past 5 years. Penalties multiply (up to ~$165,000 per repeat citation) and indicate the employer failed to permanently abate a recurring hazard.

Serious233%

A Serious violation is one where there is substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result, and the employer knew (or should have known) of the hazard. Maximum penalty is ~$16,550 per violation. The majority of OSHA citations fall into this category.

Other-than-serious117%

An Other-than-serious violation has a direct relationship to job safety and health but probably would not cause death or serious physical harm. Maximum penalty is ~$16,550 per violation. Often involves recordkeeping or procedural lapses.
