About OSHA Inspection Records
OSHA maintains public records of all federal workplace safety inspections conducted across the United States. These records are part of the agency's commitment to transparency in enforcement and are available through the Department of Labor's public data systems.
Inspections that result in violations lead to citations that describe the hazard, reference the applicable standard, and propose a penalty. Employers have 15 working days to contest a citation if they disagree with the findings.

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.
