OSHA fines for construction contractors between May and September 2018 may not have reached the million dollar fines doled out at the beginning of President Trump's first term, but the substantial monetary penalities levied against construction contractors over the last five months still reached significant values.

- Lanford Brothers Co., Marion, VA, ($304,130) for silica dust standard violations
