    The Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division have launched investigations into the incident, a spokesperson said. Any company found to be in violation could face a federal fine of more than $30,000 per incident.

    OSHA’s fines mean nothing. Time to raise them to $1,000,000 per incident, 50% of which go to the families of those injured or killed … then companies might start paying attention.

      China had huge fines. People would commit suicide to help their families. They put up nets and stopped the huge payouts to families.

      But $30k is absurdly low for a death.

      Make it a percentage of the annual worldwide turnover like GDPR. Companies have been very quick to make changes with GDPR’s fines of up to €20 million, or up to 4% of the annual worldwide turnover of the preceding financial year.

      Nobody is changing anything when killing a child only costs them US$30k and their annual revenue is estimated at US$300 million. They also had a US$7.5 million PPP loan forgiven.
