About this data
This profile aggregates federal enforcement records on RICHARD LAWSON EXCAVATING INC. from every major federal compliance and enforcement source plus the UVA Corporate Prosecution Registry.

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