TL;DR: OSHA cited 2,888 Hazard Communication (HazCom) violations in FY2024, making it the #2 most-cited standard across all general industry. Penalties for willful violations reached $165,514 in 2025. Respiratory illness was the #1 reported workplace injury category in 2024, and 63 chemical-related fatalities were recorded in 2023.
