Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) defines an other than serious violation as one that has a direct relationship to job safety and health, but is unlikely to cause death or serious physical harm. An other than serious violation carries a penalty up to $13,494 per violation (as of 2020), whereas serious and critical violations carry higher penalties. De minimis violations are those that have no potential impact on health or safety, so they wouldn't apply in this scenario.
