Who must post the Maryland Safety & Health Protection on the Job posting?
- All Maryland employers must post the Maryland Safety & Health Protection on the Job posting to keep their employees informed of their protections and obligations under the Maryland Occupational Safety and Health (MOSH) Act. (Md. Lab. & Emp. § 5-104).
- Employers must post the MOSH posting in a conspicuous place in each location where employees carry out their work activities, in places where employee notices are customarily posted for the location.
- Employers must ensure that the MOSH posting is not altered, defaced, or covered by other material.
What’s new?
- Because Maryland operates its own Federal OSHA-approved State Plan, the State Plan penalties must be “at least as effective as” as Federal OSHA’s. [29 CFR § 1902.3 (d)(1)].
- Like Federal OSHA, the State Plan is required to annually adjust for inflation the maximum civil penalties for MOSH violations. (Md. Lab. & Emp. Code § 5-810).
- The Maryland MOSH posting has been updated to reflect the inflation-adjusted maximum penalty amounts for MOSH violations effective July 15, 2025.
2025 MOSH maximum penalties are expected to increase as follows:
- General Violations – $16,550 per violation
- Failure to Correct Violations – $16,550 per day
- Willful or Repeated Violations – $165,514 per violation
- Minimum civil penalty for each willful violation – $11,823 per violation
