Wonder where the OSHA fine money goes..... 12K for wearing gloves. Someone needs a good throat punch
A cabinet shop owner buddy of mine just got ass raped too, 24k. He was working on estimates, nobody working in the shop. complete BS:thumbsdown
I have often thought about opening an osha consulting business. To many people just don't know the ins and out's of osha and they pay for it in the long run. I have never received an osha violation on any job I have ran. I think the service would pay for its self in money saved in fines, unfortunately its hard to convince people of that before they get the fines
In the last 2 years I have has 70 hours of osha training alone! Boring, yet necessary!!

I think I recall that you can actually call OSHA and request an inspection and they won't violate you (unless it's REALLY serious) and they will give you 30,60,90 days to get everything in order.
That's a good thing to know if it's truely the case
What I love is that the employees are not held accountable I mean yeah you can fire them but you have to replace them and still pay the fine. I know a roofer who got fined because one guy was not wearing his harness.
It's like the guy with the gloves you can't watch everybody all the time. And at the end of the day they don't give a rats ass about the company.
True, but if you state in your job descriptions that you must wear a harness or gloves can't be worn while operating a drill press you can argue the injury was employee misconduct. That goes a long way with OSHA and reducing potential fines. It also helps to make your case with work comp carriers, so they don't hold those types of claims against you.
How many of you have a hole in the fork on you forklift for a trailer ball ??
that is a major fine....:grumble:
if you sell batteries you better have a shower for your employee to jump in in case of a spill or explosion....:skull
guards on belt sanders, extension cords in good condition, seat belt on forklift and certified driver....:thumbsdown
There is not a construction site that would not be shut down if an OSHA inspector with a hard-on walked onto the jobsite...
Yet at the sametime, how many illegals are working... Oh, nevermind
Oh, wait, this is gonna get political...
