OSHA Abatement is the process by which an employer corrects a health or safety hazard, or violation that led to an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) citation.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) may reduce or eliminate fines for employers who abate hazards quickly after an inspection. OSHA's Quick-Fix penalty reduction program encourages employers to immediately fix hazards to prevent injuries, illnesses, or deaths. The program applies to qualified violations and reduces the base penalty by 15%
After receiving an OSHA Citation you will be required to correct all cited osha violations within a timely manner. Failure to abate OSHA violations in a timely manner can result in failure to abate violations which can amount to a $15,000 daily additional penalty for failure to abate.
