The following is a recent example of an enforcement case from a State Plan state. For more examples of state and federal enforcement cases, visit OSHA's online enforcement penalties map.

The Washington Division of Occupational Safety and Health issued $1.3M in fines to Zodiac Cabin and Structures Support LLC in Newport after inspectors detected workplace safety and health violations following a July 2015 explosion that injured 17 workers. Inspectors determined that the explosion could have been prevented if the company had used required safety interlocks and safeguards to ensure that a curing oven was used safely. For more information, read the Washington DOSH news release.
