A willful violation of a Cal/OSHA standard that causes the death of an employee can subject the employer to:

Explanation

Labor Code section 6425(a) makes a willful violation of an occupational safety standard that causes death, or permanent or prolonged impairment of the body of any employee, a crime: for an individual, imprisonment in county jail for up to a year, a fine, or both; for a corporation, a substantially larger fine. It runs alongside the civil penalty rather than instead of it, which is what (a) and (d) get wrong from opposite directions - one says the harm never crosses into the criminal, the other says the criminal exposure is absorbed into a bigger fine. A Cal/OSHA finding does not by itself revoke a contractor's licence (c); the Board would proceed separately under Business and Professions Code section 7110, on its own record and with its own hearing.
