About this data
This profile aggregates federal enforcement records on RUSS SIMPSON CO 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. Profiles may be incomplete if the establishment operates under multiple legal names or files under variations our entity-matching rules don’t yet cover.
