Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A de minimis violation is a minor violation that does not have a direct impact on an employee's health or safety, and does not require a citation from the OSHA compliance officer. It is considered to be of technical nature and does not result in any penalties, fines, or abatement requirements. A and D are incorrect because jail term and serious injuries are not associated with de minimis violations, and C is incorrect because de minimis violations do not involve conditions that could directly impact an employee's health or safety.
