Adjusting for the fact that the dollar amount assigned to fines has not increased since 1990, OSHA may be increasing fees dramatically next August:
| Citations | Current Max. | With “Catch-Up” Increase |
| Other than Serious | Up to $7,000 | Up to $12,740 |
| Serious | $7,000 | $12,740 |
| Repeat | $5,000-$70,000 | $9,100 – $127,400 |
| Willful | $5,000-$70,000 | $9,100 – $127,400 |
| Failure to Abate | $7,000/day | $12,740/day |
