Question 1

How many OSHA inspections has DOOALL CONSTRUCTION had?

Accepted Answer

DOOALL CONSTRUCTION has been inspected 1 times by OSHA between Jan 13, 2026 and Jan 13, 2026, with 0 violations and $0 in penalties on record.

Question 2

Why does construction have more OSHA inspections than other industries?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

Why do some OSHA inspections result in zero penalties?

Accepted Answer

Not every OSHA inspection results in penalties. Inspections may find no violations, or the violations cited may be classified as Other-than-Serious with penalties reduced or waived. OSHA considers several factors when determining penalties, including employer size (small employers receive reductions), good faith efforts (having an effective safety program), and history (first-time offenders may receive lower penalties).

Question 4

What is the difference between initial and current penalties?

Accepted Answer

The initial penalty is the amount OSHA proposes when issuing a citation. The current penalty reflects any adjustments made afterward, such as through informal settlement conferences, formal contest proceedings, or penalty reduction programs. It is common for current penalties to be lower than initial penalties, as employers frequently negotiate reductions through the informal conference process.

Question 5

Are OSHA inspection records public information?

Accepted Answer

Yes. OSHA inspection data is public information maintained by the U.S. Department of Labor. The data is available through OSHA's public website and through the Department of Labor's enforcement data API. As government records, they are not subject to copyright and may be freely republished. This transparency supports accountability and helps workers, employers, and the public access workplace safety information.

Question 6

Does having OSHA violations mean an employer is unsafe?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. OSHA inspections and citations are a normal part of regulatory enforcement in many industries. The presence of inspection records often reflects that an employer operates in a sector that OSHA actively monitors, not that the workplace is inherently dangerous. Many citations involve recordkeeping, signage, or documentation requirements rather than immediate safety hazards. Context including the type, severity, and resolution of violations provides a more complete picture.

Question 7

Can employers be inspected by both federal OSHA and a state agency?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, no. In states with OSHA-approved state plans, the state agency has primary enforcement responsibility and federal OSHA generally does not conduct inspections of private employers. In states under federal jurisdiction, only federal OSHA conducts inspections. However, some states have partial plans that cover only public-sector employees, in which case federal OSHA retains jurisdiction over private employers.
