Industry benchmark
BLS rates reflect industry-wide averages. Self-reported figures come from OSHA’s Injury Tracking Application; absence of self-reported data does not necessarily indicate non-compliance — many establishments fall below the ITA reporting threshold.

Complaint- and accident-triggered inspections are stronger risk signals than routine planned inspections.

Establishments are matched across agencies using normalized employer name, state, and ZIP code. This establishment resolves to the parent rollup American Airlines, which operates 219 establishments in our dataset.
OSHA citations typically appear 3–8 months after the inspection, so very recent enforcement actions may not yet be reflected. Profiles may be incomplete if the establishment operates under multiple legal names or files under variations our entity-matching rules don’t yet cover.
