For the 12 months ending 9/30/11, OSHA has listed the 10 most frequent willful violations. These activities are quite common and consume the greatest amount of time and expense. All are easy to violate and it may well be that most people do violate them.
When safety is viewed in a holistic way these activities are so embedded that it is hard to know how to violate them. And since they are built into the cost and pricing of the products the employees have no pressure or incentive to violate them.
1. Excavation
2. Fall Protection
3. Process safety management
4. Grain handling facilities
5. Asbestos
6. Lockout/tagout
7. Machine guarding
8. Specific excavation requirements
9. General recording criteria
10. General duty clause
