A contractor discovers an employee was injured but failed to report it within the required timeframe. Under Nevada law, what is the maximum penalty the contractor may face?
Correct Answer
B) $5,000 per violation
Nevada imposes penalties up to $5,000 per violation for failure to report workplace injuries within the required timeframe.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Nevada law imposes a maximum administrative penalty of $5,000 per violation for failure to report workplace injuries within the required timeframe. This is a per-violation penalty, not a per-day penalty.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: $500 per day
$500 per day is not the correct penalty structure for failure to report injuries in Nevada. OSHA-style per-day penalties apply to different violations; the injury reporting penalty is assessed per violation.
Option C: $1,000 per day
$1,000 per day is similarly not the applicable penalty for this specific violation. Per-day penalties are used for ongoing safety violations, not for a one-time failure to report an injury.
Option D: $2,500 per violation
$2,500 per violation is half the maximum penalty amount. Nevada law sets the ceiling at $5,000 per violation, not $2,500.
Memory Technique
Think '$5,000 per slip-up.' Failing to report an injury is a single administrative violation — and Nevada charges up to $5,000 for that one mistake. Not daily, not $2,500 — exactly $5,000.
