I think more penalties involving "you aren't allowed to operate until this is fixed" rather than fines would help.

Tobacco is a good example. Legislation that you could not smoke inside or nearby buildings did a lot to curb usage.

You know, it would be interesting to apply this to the whole company. Want to vertically integrate everything? Sure, but be ready for any infraction to bring everything to a halt.
