01 · What it is

Search any US employer's OSHA record for free: 5.2M inspections plus severe-injury reports, citations, and accident investigations, by employer, state, or hazard. No login.

Every OSHA workplace-safety record on the federal file — severe-injury reports, inspections, citations, and accident investigations — searchable by employer, state, hazard, or industry. Built for safety managers checking a contractor, workers checking an employer, journalists chasing a pattern, and researchers who need the raw record. Refreshed continuously from the US Department of Labor's OSHA datasets.

Why we built it

MSHA covers mines; OSHA covers everyone else — every warehouse, plant, and job site in the country. Those severe-injury and inspection records are all public, but OSHA's own tools are built for compliance officers, not the public. Safety Incidents is the same federal record, opened up: type an employer, see their history.

02 · How it works
  1. Pull OSHA's Severe Injury Reports, inspections, citations, and accident-investigation datasets from the US Department of Labor's DOL API on a rolling refresh schedule.
  2. Normalize each dataset into a common schema and resolve raw employer names into canonical establishment pages.
  3. Index everything into full-text search over employer, state, hazard, industry, and the incident narrative.
  4. Publish to safetyincidents.org; preserve each record's OSHA identifiers so every row traces back to the federal source.
