NAICS 237110: Utility System Construction / Construction
This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in the construction of water and sewer lines, pipelines, power and communication lines, and related structures such as pumping stations and transformer stations.
Common workplace hazards include trench cave-ins during underground utility installation, electrocution from contact with live electrical systems, and struck-by incidents from excavation equipment. Workers may also face risks from traffic exposure in roadway work zones and confined space entry in manholes.
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 matching 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. Establishment matching is based on employer name and location as reported in inspection records; some establishments may appear under multiple name variations. 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.
