Answer 1

The maximum fine that can be given to a TSSA inspector found guilty of contravening an Act, the regulations or Minister's order is $500,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum fine that can be given to a TSSA inspector found guilty of knowingly contravening an Act, the regulations or a Minister's order is $500,000 (option d). The maximum fine that can be levied against a TSSA (Technical Standards and Safety Authority) inspector found guilty of knowingly contravening this Act, the regulations, or a Minister's order is not specified in the information provided. However, for context, within the jurisdiction of OSHA (the Occupational Safety and Health Administration), the maximum fine for a serious violation is $7,000, while the maximum fine for a repeat or willful violation goes up to $70,000. The fines OSHA issues take into account various factors such as the gravity of the violation, the size of the business, good faith, and history of previous violations.
