US Department of Labor announces annual adjustments to OSHA civil penalties for 2023
The U.S. Department of Labor announced changes to Occupational Safety and Health Administration civil penalty amounts based on cost-of-living adjustments for 2023.
In 2015, Congress passed the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act to advance the effectiveness of civil monetary penalties and to maintain their deterrent effect. Under the Act, agencies are required to publish “catch-up” rules that adjust the level of civil monetary penalties and make subsequent annual adjustments for inflation no later than January 15 of each year. This year, January 15 falls on a Sunday and January 16 is a federal holiday. Therefore, new OSHA penalty amounts will become effective Jan. 17, 2023.
OSHA’s maximum penalties for serious and other-than-serious violations will increase from $14,502 per violation to $15,625 per violation. The maximum penalty for willful or repeated violations will increase from $145,027 per violation to $156,259 per violation.
Visit the OSHA Penalties page and read the final rule for more information.

Clayton Perry set to return to San Antonio City Council
District 10 Councilman Clayton Perry planned to return to city council on Thursday.
This followed a leave of absence for an alleged hit-and-run incident in November and driving while intoxicated charge.
Police body camera video showed the North Side conservative councilman on the ground in his backyard, disheveled and disoriented.
His black Jeep was in front of his home with the motor running and the driver’s side door open. The San Antonio Police Department was criticized in the wake of the incident for not arresting Perry.
He has been arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated. Media coverage has revealed he was served 14 drinks within four hours.
Michael Gallagher had been appointed to fill Perry’s seat while he was away. TPR learned Perry started alerting his council colleagues last week that he planned to return to his seat.
The councilman did not immediately respond to TPR’s request for comment.
Mayor Ron Nirenberg said in a statement on Wednesday that he spoke to Perry, and his stance remains that if the allegations are true, Perry should resign. But the city council can’t force a removal without a conviction.
