Why Cited Employers Need a Safety Consultant
An OSHA citation costs real money, and a repeat costs much more. That gives a cited employer a reason to fix things fast, and a reason to take your call.
Each serious violation
The most OSHA can fine for one serious or other-than-serious violation.
Each willful or repeat
Ignore a rule on purpose, or get cited again for the same hazard, and the top fine is ten times higher.
Not fixed in time
Failure to fix a cited hazard by the deadline can be fined for each day past it.
Maximum penalties from OSHA. No inflation increase was made for 2026. In plain words: your training and paperwork help a client avoid the second, bigger fine.
