America’s Dollar General has received more than $21m in health and safety fines in the last six years, according to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

When federal workplace safety investigators opened inspections in December 2022 at two Dollar General stores in southeast Oklahoma, they found blocked exit routes and walkways exposing employees to fire hazards – the same types of violations investigators discovered in stores across the nation operated by the discount retailer.
