OSHA
Established on 12/29/1970 with the passage of the OSH Act. OSHA
Purpose - To assure safe and healthful working conditions for working men and women.
In 2012, the following citations were issued by OSHA
Timken Corp. $170,500
Bender Enterprises $41,580
Unifirst Corp. $186,000
29
To generate NET profit to recover from a $186,000 fine – a retail location would need to generate approximately $3,700,000 in sales (@ 5% return)
For a store with $130,000 in monthly sales – at the same sales return as above – it would take 28.61 months of profit to cover this amount.
General Duty Clause - The general duty provisions are used in inspections only where there are no specific standards applicable to the particular hazard involved. Any recognized hazard created in part by a condition not covered by a standard may be cited under the general duty clause.[
