Based on recent safety violations at more than a dozen Dollar General locations and millions of dollars owed in related fines, OSHA has added Dollar General to its "severe violator" list. As a result of this new status, OSHA can now investigate the company's locations at any time regardless of obtaining a worker's complaint. The agency has stated that it plans to hold Dollar General accountable for its continued disregard for worker safety.
