How is a "willful" OSHA violation characterized?

A violation that is accidental
A violation that occurs due to lack of information
A safety violation knowingly committed by the employer
A violation that is reported by employees

The correct answer is: A safety violation knowingly committed by the employer

A "willful" OSHA violation is characterized as a safety violation that is knowingly committed by the employer. This means that the employer is aware of a hazardous condition and intentionally chooses not to correct it or to comply with safety standards. This deliberate disregard for the safety regulations reflects a severe lack of concern for employee safety. In contrast, a violation that is accidental lacks intent and may occur due to unforeseen circumstances. A lack of information could lead to non-compliance, but such violations do not meet the threshold of willful misconduct since they are not knowingly disregarding safety rules. Reporting violations by employees does not characterize a violation itself; rather, it pertains to how the violation comes to light. Understanding the distinction of a willful violation is critical for compliance and accountability in workplace safety standards.
