Establishments are matched across agencies using normalized employer name, state, and ZIP code. This establishment resolves to the parent rollup First Transit, which operates 72 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.
