It's worth noting a bigger company typically has more potential osha violations. A 10 person shop might be ruined by a single willful violation, but you have to screw up pretty bad to get that willful violation. On the otherhand if you have a 10,000 person company and only one or two things are wrong, you're clearly making a serious effort to comply. If the cost of a single violation scaled with company size, then in practice organizations above a certain level of complexity would just not be possible to operate. Maybe there is something to be said for discouraging overly large corporate entities that can't keep track of of all their constituent parts, but it's very different from a trust fund baby paying to turn off speed limits.
