    A. Willful and repeated
    Explanation
    A company can receive citations from OSHA for violating safety regulations. The worst types of citations a company can receive are "willful" and "repeated" citations. A "willful" citation means that the company intentionally violated safety regulations or showed a disregard for employee safety. A "repeated" citation means that the company has been cited for the same violation in the past. These types of citations indicate a severe lack of concern for employee safety and can result in higher penalties and potential legal consequences for the company.
