Data aggregated from public federal enforcement and program records (OSHA, WHD, MSHA, EPA, NLRB, FMCSA, OFLC, BLS, SAM.gov, CMS, USAspending, CPSC, NHTSA) 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. Data provided as-is. Report a data error.
