UT—Federal OSHA workplace-safety record
Utah
63 severe-injury reports between 2015-01-28 and 2025-10-16, 4,316 OSHA inspections, and 18,787 Form 300/301 injury filings on federal record in Utah.
Utah 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 Utah (for example maritime, military installations, and federal agencies) — they are not a complete picture of workplace safety in the state.
