Frequently asked questions
Why do fines vary by hazard class?
Under Article 26/3 of Law No. 6331 on Occupational Health and Safety, the base amounts are increased according to the workplace’s headcount and hazard class. For example, for very hazardous workplaces with 50 or more employees the amount is tripled. This increase does not apply to fines calculated per employee (Art. 26/5).
What are recurring monthly fines?
For certain breaches, such as failing to assign a physician or specialist, failing to carry out a risk assessment, or failing to meet emergency obligations, the fine is imposed again for every month the breach continues. That is why gaps should be fixed as soon as they are noticed.
Are these amounts final?
No. The table is for information only. The final amount is set by an administrative decision based on the breach found during the inspection. Amounts are updated every year by the revaluation rate.
