VA—Federal OSHA workplace-safety record

Virginia

363 severe-injury reports between 2015-01-15 and 2025-10-26, 23,305 OSHA inspections, and 48,374 Form 300/301 injury filings on federal record in Virginia.

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