Establishments are matched across agencies using normalized employer name, state, and ZIP code. This establishment resolves to the parent rollup TIMKEN CO, which operates 46 establishments in our dataset.
OSHA citations typically appear 3–8 months after the inspection, so very recent enforcement actions may not yet be reflected.
