OSHA violations by standard
Federal OSHA citations grouped by the standard cited — lockout/tagout, fall protection, hazard communication, and every other standard with substantial indexed citations. Each standard links to its citation record: counts by violation type, penalty totals, and recent citations with the employers behind them.
Citation records are still being indexed from the US Department of Labor enforcement archive, newest first — counts on this page reflect the citations indexed so far, not OSHA's complete enforcement history.
