Answer


OSHA may intend penalties of up to $70,000 for each willful violation, with a minimum penalty of $5,000 for each willful violation.

Step-by-step explanation:

A willful violation is described as a violation in which the employer either intentionally failed to comply with a contractual requirement or committed with plain insignificance to employee safety. OSHA takes a strict view of willful violations that is when employers fail to inscribe a danger that they should have known about after doing due persistence. OSHA can fine an employer up to $7,000 per day for a notorious obstacle in correcting the violation.
