The
Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration has created
a new webpage to identify high penalty cases in all U.S. states and
territories. We hope this new resource will be helpful in your reporting on
OSHA cases and initiatives. The map, which can be viewed at www.osha.gov/topcases/bystate.html , lists all
enforcement cases with initial penalties of $40,000 or more, beginning on
January 1, 2015. The cases are also listed in table format here.
As
the screen shot below indicates, when you click on a state, a list of cases
will appear with hyperlinks to the actual enforcement pages for details.
The
posting of some cases will be delayed to ensure the employer has been notified.
Also, please keep in mind that initial penalties can be contested and may be
changed.
For
the first time, this map shows high penalty cases in states that operate under
federal OSHA as well as in states that operate under OSHA-approved state plans.
