CA—Federal OSHA workplace-safety record

California

535 severe-injury reports between 2015-01-07 and 2025-10-21, 5,056 OSHA inspections, and 253,547 Form 300/301 injury filings on federal record in California.

California 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 California (for example maritime, military installations, and federal agencies) — they are not a complete picture of workplace safety in the state.
