What is the maximum discretionary penalty for an OSHA "other than serious" violation?

$1,000
$5,000
$7,000
$10,000

The correct answer is: $7,000

The maximum discretionary penalty for an OSHA "other than serious" violation is indeed $7,000. This classification of violation indicates that while the infraction does not pose a significant risk to health or safety, it still reflects noncompliance with established regulations. Therefore, OSHA can impose a penalty to encourage adherence to safety standards. Understanding this penalty structure is crucial for contractors as it highlights the importance of maintaining safe work environments. “Other than serious” violations may not lead to direct physical harm, but they can still impact regulatory compliance, company reputation, and ultimately project success. The penalties reflect OSHA's commitment to enforcing workplace safety regulations and ensuring that employers take their responsibilities seriously, encouraging a culture of safety that goes beyond just the absence of serious infractions.
