OSHA fines rarely get handed out. I’m in Construction Safety and know several folks who jumped over to the private sector because too any serious infractions were swept under the rug or negotiated away with “training.”
Granted this is intended to hit folks in the wallet for a number of very serious safety issues (Wuflu NOT being one of them) but nothing actually gets accomplished under an empty threat. Sure giant company “X” will get called out for missing a piece of paper on an OSHA Audit but they will not get fined or if they do, will still get billions in government $.

Not having a safety harness for some Illegal alien from Mexico, who’s laying shingles, is a lot different than them forcing their mandates to get everyone a shot.

Companies also wait to get caught and for a fine to be imposed before changing procedures.

In most cases “wait to get caught” is forever.
