The maximum civil penalty for regular and special assessments is $60,000 per violation.

then i'm thinking $250 is not a very serious violation.

If they are anything like OSHA then a $250 fine is really minor.
OSHA will cite you for not having paper cups by the water jug.
Can't use your own personal cups ,no, must be paper cups just in case a visitor drops in.

i am certain the regs are analogous to OSHA. 46 violations in a year, of this magnitude, do not make this a slumlandlord mine operator looking to endanger his nonunion miners for a buck, which is i fear where the MSM would like to take it.

MSHA makes OSHA look like grade school
