Looking up OSHA records: questions & answers

How to find a company's OSHA accident reports, severe injuries, inspections, and citations — what's covered, what's public record, and how current the data is. Everything here refers to the free archive; no account needed.

How do I look up a company's OSHA accident and injury records?

Type the company name into the search page or browse the A–Z employer directory. Every employer in the archive has a profile page that combines its federal OSHA Severe Injury Reports, Form 300/301 injury filings, OSHA inspections, and recent citations in one place. The archive currently indexes 105,313 severe-injury reports across 71,083 employers from 2015-01-01 through 2025-10-31. It is free and requires no account.

Are OSHA injury reports and inspection records public records?

Yes. OSHA severe-injury reports, inspection records, and citations are records of a US federal agency and are in the public domain. OSHA publishes the Severe Injury Report dataset itself, and inspection and enforcement data is released through the US Department of Labor's open-data API. Anyone may search, cite, or republish them. This site indexes the records as OSHA released them.

What is an OSHA Severe Injury Report?

Since January 1, 2015, federal rule 29 CFR 1904.39 requires employers to report any work-related in-patient hospitalization, amputation, or loss of an eye to OSHA within 24 hours (work-related fatalities within 8 hours). Each report becomes a record with the employer, location, date, and a narrative of what happened. Those records are what this site calls Severe Injury Reports (SIRs).

Does this database cover every US state?

No — the severe-injury data covers establishments under federal OSHA jurisdiction. About 22 states, including California, Washington, Oregon, Michigan, Minnesota, and North Carolina, run their own OSHA-approved state plans; they collect severe-injury reports separately, and those records are not in OSHA's published federal file. A company operating in both federal- and state-plan states will show only its federal-jurisdiction incidents here. Inspection records have broader coverage because state-plan inspections flow into the federal enforcement system.

How current is the data?

The archive refreshes automatically every day from OSHA's published files and the Department of Labor API. Severe Injury Reports currently run through 2025-10-31, OSHA inspections through 2026-07-09, and Form 300/301 injury filings through 2025-12-31. OSHA publishes on a lag, so the newest available record always trails today's date by some weeks.

How do I find OSHA inspections and citations for a company?

Open the company's employer profile (via search or the directory) — it lists the company's OSHA inspections and the most recent citations issued under them, with the standard cited and the penalty. Each inspection links to its own page with the full citation list. You can also browse the most recent inspections across all 706,732 inspections on file.

Can I check my own employer's OSHA history?

Yes — look your employer up the same way, by name. Separately, OSHA rules give employees the right to ask their employer for copies of the establishment's OSHA 300 log and their own 301 incident reports, and you can verify any record here against OSHA's own establishment search.

Why can't I find a company, or why does its record look small?

Four common reasons. Records are matched to employers by normalized name, so a company filing under a different legal name or spelling may appear as a separate profile. Severe-injury data covers federal-jurisdiction states only. Only hospitalizations, amputations, and eye losses must be reported as severe injuries — lesser injuries appear only in Form 300/301 filings, which small establishments aren't required to submit electronically. And research consistently finds severe injuries are underreported. Always verify against the underlying OSHA source records linked from every page before drawing conclusions about a specific company.

Can I look up a company's EMR (experience modification rate) here?

No — and not from OSHA at all. An EMR is a workers'-compensation insurance rating calculated by rating bureaus like NCCI from claims data; it is not a public record and no OSHA database contains it. What you can check free of charge is the public federal record behind the same question: a company's severe injuries, inspection history, citations, and penalties — all on its employer profile here.

What's the difference between Severe Injury Reports, Form 300/301 filings, and inspections?

They're three separate OSHA data streams. Severe Injury Reports are incidents employers must phone in within 24 hours (hospitalization, amputation, eye loss). Form 300/301 filings are the injury-and-illness logs establishments submit annually through OSHA's Injury Tracking Application — broader in what counts as an injury, narrower in which establishments must file. Inspections are OSHA enforcement visits, which can produce citations and penalties. Employer profiles on this site combine all three so you don't have to query them separately.

Is Safety Incidents affiliated with OSHA?

No. Safety Incidents is an independent index of public OSHA records, published by Shovel. Records are reproduced as the agency released them, and every page links back to the official source so you can verify. The site is informational only — not legal, safety-compliance, or professional advice.

Can I get a compliance report or ongoing alerts for one employer?

The facts are free forever on each employer's profile. For interpretation and monitoring there are two paid options linked from every profile: a one-time $149 Compliance History Report — the full severe-injury history benchmarked against the employer's own sector and the national average, as a portable document — and a $99/month Monitor, a private watch page that refreshes daily as new federal OSHA reports are published.
