You pay for OSHA through your taxes in order to ensure, as much as possible, that unscrupulous employers do not take advantage of people needing employment and have them doing their work in unnecessarily hazardous situations.

What is the punishment for not following OSHA standards?

Failure to comply with OSHA requirements can result in the company receiving a citation and a fine. In rare and limited cases involving death of an employee, company officers may be subject to criminal prosecution and jail time. Employees who do not comply with OSHA requirements are not punished by OSHA. But OSHA could punish the employing company for failing to enforce and ensure that OSHA standards are complied with. As a result, companies are expected to use their normal management and disciplinary process to ensure that employees comply with OSHA standards. Employees who do not comply may be counseled, suspended, have pay docked, or be demoted, transferred or fired, depending on the seriousness of the failure to comply and how often the employee has failed to comply.


What does OSHA require that employees pay for?

OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) generally requires employers to provide a safe and healthful workplace, which includes the provision of necessary personal protective equipment (PPE) at no cost to employees. However, if an employee chooses to use their own PPE that meets OSHA standards, they may be responsible for the costs associated with that equipment. Additionally, employees may be required to pay for certain items, like uniforms or tools, depending on company policy and local labor laws, but these do not fall under OSHA's purview.
