$300,000 in Penalties

A press release from the U.S. Department of Labor announced a scathing accusation against Dollar General.

On Monday, the department’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration proposed $321,827 in penalties for the nation’s largest discount retailer after finding three repeat violations.

“Dollar General has a long history of disregarding safety measures to prevent serious injury or death in the event of a fire or other emergency,” says Doug Parker, assistant secretary for Occupational Safety and Health. “This company’s troubled history of workplace safety violations must come to an end, and OSHA will make every effort to hold them accountable for their failures.”

Since 2016, the department has proposed more than $3.3 million in penalties in 54 inspections at Dollar General locations nationwide. The retailer's violations over the years have included blocked electrical panels, obstructed exits, forklift, housekeeping and sanitation violations.
