Yes, if fines are less than the dollar amount required to fix the problem, there is no incentive to do it.

I deal with both OSHA & MSHA (Mine Safety)

If any company had another site with a similiar infaction or during investigation finds consecutive violations the fines increase 10 fold

so if a fine of $500.00 is found first then another then the second would be $5000.00 then the third would be $50,000.00 and so forth.

Im sure they gonna get visits

Then plea bargain and of course comply with the findings and then agree to pay a part and well, not allways gets the company attention.

(in the wallet)

Shame indeed
