New OSHA Penalty Reductions: Big Wins for NHADA Workers' Comp Members
1:57

OSHA just rolled out new penalty reduction rules—and they’re good news for members of the NHADA Workers’ Compensation Trust.

PARTNER SPOTLIGHT

Effective July 14, 2025, OSHA is expanding its penalty reductions for small and mid-sized employers. Combined with NHADA’s in-house loss prevention program, this change gives members a clear path to minimizing risk and cutting costs.

Key OSHA Changes

  • Up to 70% Off Penalties: Now available to employers with up to 25 employees (previously limited to 10).

  • Discounts for Mid-Sized Businesses: 30% off for 26–100 employees, and 10% for 101–250 employees.

  • 15% Bonus for employers who fix hazards quickly.

  • 20% Reduction for businesses with a clean OSHA record over the past 5 years.

These reductions can stack—bringing total reductions to as much as 90%.
