In the North American [[law|legal system]] and in US [[Occupational Safety and Health Administration]] regulations, '''willful violation''' or '''willful non-compliance''' is a violation of [[workplace]] rules and policies that occurs either deliberately or as a result of neglect.<br />
<br />
== Definition ==<br />
Willful violation is defined as an "act done voluntarily with either an intentional disregard of, or plain indifference to," the requirements of Acts, [[regulations]], [[statutes]] or relevant workplace policies.<ref>[http://www.csb.gov/completed_investigations/docs/CSBFinalReportBP.pdf Report No. 2005-04-I-TX] U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board Investigation Report, 2005 Refinery Explosion and Fire, BP Texas City, Texas, March 23, (15 Killed, 180 Injured), March 2007, Page 20</ref><ref>''[http://vlex.com/vid/36114839 Conie Construction, Inc. v. Reich], 73 F.3d 382, 384 (D.C. Cir. 1995)''</ref><ref>''[http://vlex.com/vid/37024226 Ensign-Bickford Co. v. OSHRC], 717 F.2d 1419, 1422 (D.C.Cir.1983)''</ref> This is described with slightly different emphasis in an [[Occupational Safety and Health Administration|OSHA]] technical manual that a "willful violation exists under the Act where the evidence shows either an intentional violation of the Act or plain indifference to its requirements."<ref>''[http://www.osha.gov/Firm_osha_data/100007.html OSHA Field Inspection Reference Manual], CPL 2.103 Section 7 - Chapter III. Inspection Documentation ''</ref><br />
<br />
[[Recklessness (law)|Criminal recklessness]] is similarly described in [[Black's Law Dictionary]] as "Conduct whereby the actor does not desire harmful consequence but...foresees the possibility and consciously takes the risk," or alternatively as "a state of mind in which a person does not care about the consequences of his or her actions."<ref>''[http://www.blackslawdictionary.com/ Black's Law dictionary]'' 1053 (Bryan A. Garner ed., 8th ed. abr. 2005)</ref><br />
