Frequently Asked Questions

OSHA’s Severe Violator Enforcement Program (SVEP) is a federal initiative designed to focus enforcement resources on employers who repeatedly or willfully violate workplace safety and health standards. Established in 2010, the program targets companies with the most serious violations — including fatalities, high-gravity willful citations, and repeat offenses — to ensure they are held accountable and that hazards are corrected. Facilities placed in SVEP face mandatory follow-up inspections, increased penalties, and public listing to deter future violations.

The SVEP program works by identifying and targeting employers who demonstrate a pattern of disregard for worker safety. When OSHA inspectors find willful, repeat, or failure-to-abate violations — especially those involving fatalities, amputations, or hospitalizations — the case is referred for SVEP consideration. Once an employer is placed in the program, OSHA conducts enhanced follow-up inspections at all related worksites, coordinates with state OSHA plans, and may refer cases for federal or state prosecution. The goal is to ensure that the most dangerous workplaces receive sustained enforcement attention until compliance is achieved.

The SVEP Navigator database contains inspection and enforcement records for over 2.3 million facilities across all 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories. This comprehensive dataset includes OSHA inspection results, violation details, penalty amounts, and compliance history — making it one of the most complete publicly accessible databases for workplace safety enforcement research.
