AK—Federal OSHA workplace-safety record
Alaska
56 severe-injury reports between 2015-12-10 and 2025-10-08, 4,844 OSHA inspections, and 4,854 Form 300/301 injury filings on federal record in Alaska.
Alaska operates its own OSHA-approved State Plan covering private-sector workplaces, so most enforcement there is state-run. The federal OSHA records on this page cover only workplaces under federal jurisdiction in Alaska (for example maritime, military installations, and federal agencies) — they are not a complete picture of workplace safety in the state.

Example incidents

Turnagain Marine Construction Corporation
An employee was assisting with pre-welding setup on pile structures at the fuel dock worksite. They were working to operate a come-along to align a waler to the pile. Due to limited leverage and restricted positioning within the man basket of the crane, the employee exited the basket to manually adjust the waler from the structure itself. During the task, wave height and frequency increased. A large wave struck the area, causing the pile braces and walers to shift. The employee lost their footing and grabbed the production pile edge. Their fingers on one hand were crushed between two structural steel piles. The employee sustained an amputation to the fingers and was hospitalized.
