This white paper breaks down the most frequent OSHA violations on construction sites—fall protection, hazard communication, ladders, scaffolding, and respiratory protection—and explains what drives citations.
It summarizes 2025 penalty categories (serious, willful, repeated, failure to abate) and outlines prevention tactics: written safety programs, regular inspections, ongoing training, documentation, and strict PPE/fall protection enforcement.
It also covers compliant storage of flammable liquids using approved safety cans and flammable safety cabinets aligned with OSHA and NFPA 30 requirements.
