SpaceX Didn’t Properly Inspect Crane Before Collapse at Starbase, OSHA Says
OSHA says SpaceX failed to properly inspect a recently repaired hydraulic crane before it collapsed at the Starbase facility in June 2025. The agency issued seven serious violations and levied the maximum fines on six of them, totaling $115,850. The citations allege missing monthly inspections, lack of qualified verification of repairs, and use of an operator with an expired crane‑operator certification. The penalties arrive as SpaceX ramps up Starship launches and faces scrutiny over a historically high injury rate at the Texas site.
