OSHA Citation Assistance

Expert Help to Navigate OSHA Violations and Fines

Facing an OSHA Citation? Here’s Why Taking Action Matters

If your workplace has recently been inspected by OSHA, you might be wondering about the next steps. OSHA has up to six months from the date of an alleged violation to issue a citation and propose penalties. It’s not uncommon for citations to be issued toward the end of this window, leaving many employers feeling caught off guard.

Whether you’ve already received a citation or believe one may be on the horizon, it’s essential to understand your options. Partnering with an experienced OSHA safety consultant, like LegacyMark Safety Consulting, early in the process can save you significant time, money, and stress.

Did you know that OSHA has up to six months, from the date of an alleged violation, to issue a citation and proposed penalty? In fact, it is not uncommon for the issuance to occur close to the end of this six-month window.

Why You Shouldn’t Simply Pay the Fine

While it may seem easier to accept a citation and pay the fine, this approach can have serious long-term consequences. OSHA violations can compound over time, meaning a minor penalty today could lead to substantial OSHA fines for repeat violations in the future.

For instance, a repeat violation can result in penalties of up to $165,514 per violation (2025). Contesting your citation now, rather than simply accepting it, can help you avoid costly “Willful” or “Repeat” violations in the future.
