WSH Act: liabilities and penalties

Find out the maximum penalties for failing to comply with the Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) Act.

The tables below outline the maximum penalty for failing to comply with the WSH Act:

Not complying with a Remedial Order or Stop Work Order









General penalties
For offences where no penalty is expressly provided in the WSH Act, the penalties are as follows







Note: If the previous offence caused the death of a person, any subsequent offence that causes the death of another person will have a maximum fine that is doubled.

Composition fines

For offences, instead of prosecution in Court, the Commissioner may consider compounding the offence.

Offences may be compounded to a sum not more than half the maximum fine prescribed for the offence or $5,000, whichever is lower.
