One of the top fines—nearly $585,000—was for a roofer that allowed workers to be exposed to a 30-foot drop without fall protection.

As part of its attempt to raise awareness on safety standards and punish those who violate them, OSHA often names and publicizes cases that include high fine amounts.

In many instances, these citations include small residential builders with a history of repeatedly failing to provide adequate protection for workers. Fine amounts are often negotiated down when businesses contest them.

Here are some of the top fines highlighted by OSHA in the first quarter of 2023. For more on these citations, read the full article from Construction Dive.
