What is the punishment for not following OSHA standards?
Failure to comply with OSHA requirements can result in the company receiving a citation and a fine. In rare and limited cases involving death of an employee, company officers may be subject to criminal prosecution and jail time. Employees who do not comply with OSHA requirements are not punished by OSHA. But OSHA could punish the employing company for failing to enforce and ensure that OSHA standards are complied with. As a result, companies are expected to use their normal management and disciplinary process to ensure that employees comply with OSHA standards. Employees who do not comply may be counseled, suspended, have pay docked, or be demoted, transferred or fired, depending on the seriousness of the failure to comply and how often the employee has failed to comply.
