Federal OSHA backs Nevada’s drop of $400K in fines against The Boring Company over 2023 tunnel incident, citing insufficient evidence of willful violations.
Federal OSHA has confirmed Nevada OSHA’s decision to drop over $400,000 in willful safety fines against The Boring Company was justified, finding insufficient evidence of intentional safety violations following a 2023 incident in the Vegas Loop tunnels that caused chemical burns to two firefighters.
The federal review cited legal deficiencies and inconsistent documentation in the original citations.
In response, Nevada OSHA has implemented new policies to improve transparency, including standardized case file procedures, mandatory decision documentation, and clearer legal counsel protocols.
Officials maintain the action was legally sound, though critics, including lawmakers and former firefighters, have raised concerns about enforcement leniency and oversight.
