Generally. OSHA fines are civil penalties for violations of the OSH Act. There are three levels of fines non-serious, serious and willful, with each penalty escalating for each level.
Federal OSHA does not include incarceration but fines can get pretty high, up to $70,000 for a willful violation, although fines that high are pretty rare.

What Jesi said :)
ph yo - you're an idiot. In my state, fines go into the general fund with a percentage of them going to scholarships for the children of those seriously injured or killed on the job. Fines do not directly fund the program, and a large amount of the cost for the state-OSHA program is funded through the federal government.

OSHA fines are how OSHA pays for itself. Its no longer a organization concerned about workers' safety. They are now a organization concerned with how many fines they can make to pay for themselves.
