Frequently Asked Questions

A repeat violation is issued when an employer has been previously cited for a substantially similar hazard within the past five years. Repeat violations carry penalties up to $161,323 per violation — ten times higher than a standard serious violation.

A willful violation means the employer intentionally and knowingly committed the violation, or committed it with plain indifference to the law. These carry the same maximum penalty as repeat violations ($161,323) and can result in criminal prosecution if a worker dies.

Companies with systemic safety culture problems often accumulate repeat and willful citations across multiple worksites and inspection cycles. Large companies with many locations may have inconsistent safety practices, leading to repeated citations at different facilities.
