The time frame for considering an employer's history of violations has expanded from three years to five years. An employer who has been inspected by OSHA within the previous five years and has no serious, willful, repeat, or failure-to-abate violations will receive a 10% reduction for history.

History Increase

An employer that has been cited by OSHA for any high gravity serious, willful, repeat or failure-to-abate violation within the previous five years will receive a 10% increase in their penalty, up to the statutory maximum.

Employers who have not been inspected and employers who have received citations for serious violations that were not high gravity will receive neither a reduction, nor an increase based on their OSHA inspection history.

Repeat Violations

The time period to consider for repeated violations has increased from three years to five years. Area Directors may continue to apply a size reduction to the penalty, as appropriate, after considering the need for a deterrent effect.
