Bill Hill’s Business: 30 OSHA Violations + Half a Million in Environmental Fines

Under Hill’s watch, Silver Bay has been riddled with issues, including:

  • 20 workplace-safety inspections over the past decade
  • 30 OSHA violations
  • $467,469 in fines for water-quality violations
  • $82,500 in EPA fines for illegally dumping
  • Workers “mentally terrorized and physically abused”

Bill Hill presents himself to Alaska voters as a working-class fisherman ready to take on wealthy elites.

But the Democrat-backed congressional candidate also holds an ownership stake in Silver Bay Seafoods, a rapidly expanding corporation reportedly generating more than $1 billion in annual revenue and controlling much of Alaska’s salmon-processing capacity.


…

Hill portrays himself as a labor champion and has appeared on union picket lines carrying a “STRIKE” sign. The American Federation of Government Employees endorsed him alongside US Senate candidate Mary Peltola. Yet Silver Bay facilities are identified as nonunion in Occupational Safety and Health Administration records.

The company has undergone more than 20 workplace-safety inspections over the past decade, with OSHA records listing more than 30 alleged or confirmed violations.

A 2025 complaint inspection at Silver Bay’s False Pass facility resulted in a serious lockout-tagout citation and a proposed $16,550 penalty. The citation concerned safeguards intended to protect workers from hazardous machinery energy. Silver Bay contested it.

In 2017, workers at the company’s Naknek facility alleged that they had been “mentally terrorized and physically abused,” prompting an investigation by Alaska Occupational Safety and Health.

Hill has also been promoted as an environmental candidate, but Silver Bay has paid $549,969 in state and federal penalties for environmental violations.

In 2022, the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation penalized the company $467,469 for water-quality violations at its Naknek River plant.
