How does OSHA fix violations?

OSHA addresses violations through inspections and investigations, identifying unsafe conditions or practices in the workplace. When violations are found, OSHA issues citations and proposed penalties, which employers must respond to within a specified timeframe. Employers are required to correct the identified hazards and may need to submit evidence of compliance. If necessary, OSHA can follow up to ensure that violations have been adequately addressed and may take further action if compliance is not achieved.
