The most recent press release, "Middlefield contractor faces more than $414K in fines for repeatedly failing to protect roofing employees from exposure to deadly fall hazards," was submitted on Nov. 30.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration published 18 press releases the month before, marking a 5.6 percent decrease for the current month.
OSHA regulates safety and health conditions in most private industries. It also administers the Whistleblower Protection Program, which ensures an employer cannot retaliate against an employee who reports any safety issues, health concerns, or other secured activity.
The agency can assess a maximum fine of $7,000 for every serious violation of OSHA standards and $70,000 for a repeated or willful violation.
