When I worked in Australian minesites, the heat on the ground routinely reached 150F.

We were covered head to toe in clothing that blocked out the sun and it was mandatory to carry around a gallon jug of water. Like you'd be kicked off site if you broke any of these rules. I'd fill that thing up at least twice in a day.

Basically what I'm saying is there's no excuse for this. Sometimes workers act macho, but ultimately the enforcement has to come from above.

That's just the fine. The family will probably sue him for hundreds of thousands, or millions, and I hope they win, or take his business.

It's in line with the maximums allowed per OSHAs own website.

This. Litigation is what actually hurts offenders, OSHA is really just a spotlight.

Actually I think it's about in line with OSHA fines of this type.

Oh. Looks like it's time to GREATLY increase that fine in general. OSHA needs to have a much bigger threat than that to protect worker safety. That is a drop in the bucket for most companies.

That is an... oddly specific number.

Also too low, but people have already pointed that out.

I'd be worried if I worked for that company and noticed the boss sent OSHA a check for $50,000 just in case.
