Establishments are matched across agencies using normalized employer name, state, and ZIP code. This establishment resolves to the parent rollup Johnson Controls, which operates 932 establishments in our dataset.

OSHA citations typically appear 3–8 months after the inspection, so very recent enforcement actions may not yet be reflected.
