Safety self-report (OSHA 300A)
Recordable injury rates the employer filed with OSHA’s Injury Tracking Application. DART covers cases with days away, restricted, or transferred; TRIR is the total recordable case rate.

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.

Mine safety (MSHA)
Company-level in SD — for CHS Inc, not this location alone
Mine Safety & Health Administration — citations issued at mining operations. MSHA records cases at the company/regional level (no worksite address), so these are matched by company name and state and may span other CHS Inc operations in the same state.
MSHA citations
Mine Safety and Health Administration citations. S&S (significant and substantial) marks violations that could reasonably contribute to a serious injury. Negligence rating is MSHA’s operator-culpability assessment (none, low, moderate, high, or reckless disregard). Proposed = assessed at issuance; Paid = post-settlement / appeal. 1 citation · 1S&S · 1 contractor · $243 proposed / $243 paid.
| Citation | Mine | Date | Section | S&S | Negligence | Proposed | Paid |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6327757 | S P No 1 Pennington, SD contractor: CHS Inc | Apr 2008 | — | Yes | ModNegligence | $243 | $243 |
Source: MSHA citation database. “Contractor” annotations indicate the cited party was on-site at the mine but not the mine’s operator -- responsibility attaches to the contractor LLC, not the mine’s owner. Section codes reference 30 CFR (the Mine Safety and Health regulations).
Labor relations (NLRB)
No NLRB unfair labor practice charges or union representation cases on file for CHS. Verify directly with National Labor Relations Board →
Visa & labor certification (OFLC) — historical
No H-1B, H-2A, or H-2B labor condition applications on file (historical data only — DOL ended OFLC publication) for CHS. Verify directly with Office of Foreign Labor Certification →

Federal prosecution case file
Federal corporate prosecution records from the University of Virginia Corporate Prosecution Registry. DPA = Deferred Prosecution Agreement; NPA = Non-Prosecution Agreement; both are pre-trial settlements where the defendant accepts terms but avoids conviction. Monitor = court-appointed compliance oversight, usually 2-5 years. 1 case · 1 plea/conviction · $550,000 in penalties / restitution.
| Case | Date | Disposition | Crime | Jurisdiction | Total payment | Monitor |

Source: University of Virginia Corporate Prosecution Registry (maintained by Prof. Brandon L. Garrett, Duke University). The registry has no state or jurisdiction-of-incorporation field on the company side, so same-name employers in different states may mis-attribute -- verify against the source case documents when precision matters.

About this data
This profile aggregates federal enforcement records on CHS from every major federal compliance and enforcement source plus the UVA Corporate Prosecution Registry. OSHA workplace safety inspections, WHD wage cases, MSHA mine safety, EPA environmental enforcement, NLRB labor relations, OFLC visa/labor certification, FMCSA motor carrier registration, SAM.gov debarments, CMS nursing-home records, BLS industry safety benchmarks, OSHA ITA self-reported injury rates, SEC enforcement and financial disclosures, CPSC and NHTSA recalls.
Establishments are matched across agencies using normalized employer name, state, and ZIP code. This establishment resolves to the parent rollup CHS Inc, which operates 90 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. To report a missing record or correction, email corrections@fastdol.com.
