U.S. manufacturers faced over $71.5 million in OSHA penalties last year, up from $54 million, driven by more than 16,600 citations across the industry. With maximum fines now reaching $16,550 per violation and $165,514 for repeat offenses, the cost of compliance gaps is rising fast. This guide breaks down the root causes, from untrained visitors to uncertified contractors and outdated emergency procedures. It provides practical strategies to improve documentation, strengthen audit readiness, and reduce risk. You’ll also learn how leading facilities are replacing manual processes with centralized systems to maintain compliance, avoid costly violations, and improve operational safety.
