About these figures

  • Source: U.S. Department of Labor OSHA enforcement data. The four totals at the top count establishments by their primary location. The year chart, inspection types, citation types and standards count by the state on each inspection record (26,028 inspections on that basis, 26,027 on the establishment basis).
  • Citations are violation items as DOL records them, deleted items excluded. The citation types count by the state on each inspection record: 74,496 citations on that basis (74,496 on the establishment basis), of which 134 carry another or no type code, so the four types do not add up to either total. Current penalties are amounts after any reductions.
  • Having OSHA inspection records is common for businesses in regulated industries.

Data Source and Methodology

DOL source data

Data on this page comes from the U.S. Department of Labor's OSHA enforcement database, accessed via the DOL public data API. Errors in data processing or establishment grouping are possible. Penalty amounts are the latest on record and may differ from the initial assessment or the final amount after informal conference, settlement or judicial review. Company pages group records by employer name, city and state as OSHA reported them, not by legal entity (methodology). Found an error? Report it. This product uses the DOL Data API but is not endorsed or certified by the DOL. For official and authoritative records, visit osha.gov.

SafetyRecord also offers this data as an API and bulk files, with inspections grouped by establishment and a record of how citations change after OSHA publishes them: Data & API.
