It's final: OSHA can issue citations per employee
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has issued a final rule clarifying that the agency can cite on a per-employee basis if an employer fails to provide personal protective equipment (PPE) or training.
Any fine could be multiplied by the number of employees who should have received the PPE or training. In practice, the rule is reserved for egregious cases.
