US EditionMontana Employers Hit With 60 OSHA HazCom Violations Over Last 5 Years
Montana employers recorded 60 Hazard Communication violations from 2021 to 2025, with penalties totaling $22,975 due to gaps in training, labeling, and safety data access.
- Trace One analyzed OSHA enforcement data from 2021–2025, finding 36,984 Hazard Communication violations nationwide, equal to 50.6% of citations per 100,000 workers.
- OSHA established the Hazard Communication Standard in 1983 to address inconsistent labeling, SDS and training, yet more than four decades later, HazCom remains frequently cited for compliance gaps.
- Manufacturing recorded 10,021 violations and construction 8,678, together making up 50.6% of all HazCom citations, despite construction inspections being more frequent, with inspection-result rates of 8.8% versus 2.5%.
- Since the 1989 peak, HazCom violations have declined markedly, with 6,130 recorded in 2025, but ongoing annual citations keep enforcement active.
- When adjusted per-worker, Alaska and Maryland show the highest rates, with Alaska at 44.7 HazCom violations per 100,000 workers and Maryland at 39.0, while California records just 0.3.
