OSHA penalties should not be the primary reason for implementing or improving a safety program. The real cost of workplace injuries has little to do with fines and everything to do with people and consequences that can last a lifetime.
Serious injuries happen in seconds - an unguarded machine leading to an amputation, a lockout/tagout failure resulting in a crushing injury, or exposure hazards causing long-term illness. For families, the impact can mean lost income, ongoing medical care, and permanent changes to daily life. For companies, a single serious incident can cost millions through medical expenses, legal costs, production disruption, turnover, and damage to morale and reputation.
Strong safety programs exist to prevent these outcomes by identifying hazards early and controlling risks before someone gets hurt and working every day to improve. Compliance matters, but protecting people in a business that thrives is the real objective.
If penalties help motivate action, OSHA establishes maximum civil penalty amounts as follows:
2025 Federal OSHA Maximum Penalty Amounts
Serious, Other-Than-Serious, Posting Requirements
$16,550 per violation
Failure to Abate
$16,550 per day beyond the abatement date
Willful or Repeated
$165,514 per violation
Penalty amounts are adjusted based on the gravity of the violation:
Severity + Probability = Gravity-Based Penalty (GBP)
Fines are temporary. The impact of a serious injury or fatality is not.
