The Top 10 Most-Cited OSHA Violations of 2019

Wondering what OSHA cites employers for most? Our Top 10 Most-Cited OSHA Violations of 2019 video lists out the top OSHA violations of the year, and what you can do to prevent similar citations in your business.

Every year, OSHA publishes a list of the Top 10 Most-Cited OSHA Violations. In all honesty, the list doesn't change much from year to year. What is useful though, is knowing what OSHA is citing companies for so you can understand the big issues, and how your business can avoid them.

The Top 10 Most-Cited OSHA Violations of 2019 in this video included:
10. With 1,411 OSHA violations, coming in at #10 we have eye and face protection violations.

9. With 1,743 OSHA violations we have machines and machine guarding.

8. Next up at #8 with 1,773 OSHA violations, Fall protection training requirements in construction. This one makes the list most years. Remember, if you don’t document it, it didn’t happen.

7. With 2,093 OSHA violations coming in #7 is powered industrial trucks AKA the forklift standard.

6. In 6th place with 2,345 OSHA violations, we have ladders, under the construction standard.

5. With 2,450 OSHA violations is respiratory protection.

4.In fourth place with 2,606 OSHA violations is control of hazardous energy, or you may know it as the Lockout Tagout standard.

3.In third place with 2,813 OSHA violations is scaffolding, general construction requirements.

2.Pulling ahead by 800 OSHA violations in second place is the hazard communication standard with 3,671 violations.

1. And last, with a whopping 6,100 OSHA violations, coming in at number one is fall protection in the construction industry. This one has topped the list for 9 years a row now and it’s not necessarily surprising since falls in the construction industry are still the number one cause of fatalities.

Now, if you want to be able to anticipate what the major sources of OSHA violations will be in 2020, the past is a pretty good indicator of the future.

I checked out the Top 10 Most-Cited OSHA Violations for the past three years and here they are. As you can see not a lot changes from year to year.

So, now you know the Top 10 Most-Cited OSHA Violations of 2019. Can you prevent them in your own workplace in 2020?
