About This Industry
NAICS 238220: Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors / Construction
This industry comprises specialty trade contractors primarily engaged in installing and servicing plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning systems. Work includes piping, ductwork, fixture installation, and system testing.
Common workplace hazards include burns from soldering, brazing, and welding, exposure to refrigerants and natural gas, and falls from ladders. Workers may also face risks from working in confined spaces, exposure to asbestos in older buildings, and lead exposure from soldering.
Construction consistently has the highest number of OSHA inspections for several reasons: the industry has one of the highest fatality rates of any sector, worksites change frequently (creating new hazards), many construction operations are visible from public areas (making observation easier), and OSHA runs multiple National Emphasis Programs targeting construction hazards. The transient nature of construction work also means new employers continuously enter the inspection pool.
Data Source and Methodology
Data synced dailyData on this page comes from the U.S. Department of Labor's OSHA enforcement database, accessed via the DOL public data API. Records are updated daily. We strive for accuracy, but errors in data processing or establishment grouping are possible. Penalty amounts reflect the latest penalty amounts on record in the DOL database and may differ from initial assessments or final amounts after informal conference, settlement, or judicial review. Company pages group inspection records by normalized employer name, city, and state as reported in OSHA records. That grouping is deterministic and non-fuzzy, but it is not a universal legal-entity identifier. If you believe any record is inaccurate, please report it and we will investigate. This product uses the DOL Data API but is not endorsed or certified by the DOL. For official and authoritative records, visit osha.gov.
