What is the daily fine for the first offense of late submission of monthly accident reports or Safety and Health Program?

• A. 5 pesos
• B. 10 pesos
• C. 15 pesos
• D. 20 pesos

Answer: (B)

This question tests how penalties for late reporting are structured. The system imposes a daily fine for each day a required report is late, with a specific amount set for the first offense to encourage timely submissions without being excessively punitive. Among the options, the amount that applies to the first offense is ten pesos per day. This keeps the penalty meaningful enough to motivate compliance, but not overly harsh for a first lapse. If the fine were smaller, it might not deter lateness; if it were larger, it could be seen as punitive for a first offense. The other amounts would typically correspond to higher offenses or different sections of the rule, not the initial penalty for a late first-time submission.
