If you disregard safety rules what can OSHA do to you?
If you are a supervisor or manager acting as a representative of the management of your company when you disregard safety rules enforceable by OSHA, OSHA can fine your company and issue citations. If your disregard results in the death of an employee, OSHA can recommend that the Federal Attorney file criminal charges against your or your company. If you are an employee but not acting as a manager of your company when you disregard safety rules that are enforceable by OSHA, OSHA can cite your employer and impose fines on your employer for failure to require you to follow the safety rules. Bottom line, if you disregard safety rules, accidents will happen that will cause health and safety risks - injuries and fatalities and you will definitely get a lawsuit out of it.

Do OSHA rules apply to government?
OSHA regulations apply directly to the US Postal Service. Most other Federal agencies have internal rules that say they will follow the OSHA regulations, but this may not include giving OSHA the authority to inspect their operations and issue citations or fines. OSHA regulations do not apply to state governments or their subordinate units like state universities, country or city government, etc. If a state has established an OSHA-approved State program, then the State equivalent of OSHA enforces regulations that are at least as stringent as those of OSHA, and they must apply to all state and local governments or OSHA cannot approve the program. About half the states have such programs.
