OSHA Penalty Adjustments to Take Effect August 2016
In November 2015, Congress enacted legislation requiring federal agencies to adjust their civil penalties to account for inflation. The Department of Labor is adjusting penalties for its agencies, including the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). OSHA's maximum penalties, which were last adjusted in 1990, will increase by 78%. Going forward, the agency will continue to adjust its penalties for inflation each year based on the Consumer Price Index. The new penalties will take effect after August 1, 2016. Any citations issued by OSHA after that date will be subject to the new penalties if the related violations occurred after November 2, 2015.

Member Site Audits or Inspections
Don't forget about this member service - job-site audits. Whether you refer to them as inspections or visits or audits, the focus is generally the same - site safety. The scope for on-site inspections is defined by the member - it can be from a full project walk-thru to focusing on a specific issue or area of concern after the site audit agreement is completed. Again, contact Mike or Jim to schedule this member service.
