Methodology

How to read this record

An OSHA inspection record describes federal enforcement activity — it does not capture every workplace safety event at a company. A few caveats:

📅
5-year window

OSHA Violations Tracker indexes inspections opened on or after 2021-01-01. Older history is at OSHA’s establishment search.

🏢
Establishment vs. company

OSHA records are keyed by physical establishment, not parent company. A large employer may operate many sites across states.

Inspection without citation is normal

Many inspections close with no violations — that’s a positive signal, not a missing data row.

💰
Penalties are current assessment

Final amounts may differ after informal conferences or settlement. We show what OSHA has on file today.
