01 · What it is

Search every OSHA severe-injury report since the 2015 reporting rule — amputations, hospitalizations, and loss-of-eye events. Filter by employer, state, NAICS, or a keyword in the inspection narrative. Refreshed daily.

Every severe workplace injury OSHA has on file since 2015 — amputations, hospitalizations, and loss-of-eye events — searchable by employer, state, NAICS, or a keyword in the inspection narrative. Built for defense counsel, insurers, safety consultants, and journalists. Updated daily from OSHA's open Severe Injury Report feed.

Why we built it

OSHA's severe-injury reports are public, but the agency's own search makes them effectively invisible — the same gap Mining Incidents addresses for MSHA, applied to a much broader population.

02 · How it works
  1. Pull the latest OSHA Severe Injury Report feed daily via the DOL Open Data API v4.
  2. Normalize the schema and resolve each row's primary NAICS code into a human-readable industry.
  3. Run the final-narrative field through an LLM classifier for body-part and event type.
  4. Index the result into Postgres with full-text search on the narrative field.
  5. Publish to safetyincidents.org; preserve the original OSHA incident ID end-to-end so every record traces back to the source row.
