OSHA Enforcement
Every OSHA workplace-safety inspection back to the 1980s — 5.2M inspections and 13.3M violations with penalties. Establishment name and site address, NAICS/SIC industry codes, union status, inspection type (accident, complaint, planned, referral), and per-citation violations: the standard cited, gravity, initial vs current penalty, abatement and contest dates. The workplace-safety risk surface for any employer in America.

What it returns
Two record shapes: inspections (doc per activity_nr) and violations (doc per citation). Pass include_violations=true to attach each inspection's citations, or activity_nr for a direct lookup with violations. Refreshed daily from DOL's snapshot files. See the live example below for the full field set.
Filters
| activity_nr | Direct lookup by OSHA inspection activity number (e.g., '317465899'). Returns the inspection with its violations attached |
| establishment_name | Case-insensitive substring against the inspected establishment's name (e.g., 'amazon', 'dollar general'). Client-side filter. |
| state | Two-letter site state (e.g., 'TX', 'CA'). |
| naics_code | Exact NAICS industry code of the inspected site (e.g., '238160' roofing contractors). Note: '000000' on many pre-NAICS-era records. |
| insp_type | One-letter inspection-type code (e.g., 'M' Fat/Cat, 'B' Complaint, 'H' Planned — full legend in the tool description). |
| since | Inspection open_date lower bound (YYYY-MM-DD inclusive). |
| until | Inspection open_date upper bound (YYYY-MM-DD inclusive). |
| min_penalty | Keep only inspections with at least one violation whose initial or current penalty is >= this amount (dollars). Implies include_violations=true. |
| include_violations | When true, attaches each returned inspection's violation citations under a `violations` array (standard, type, penalties, abatement/contest dates). Default false. |
| sort_by | Sort key. Default: open_date |
| sort_order | Default: desc (most recent first). |
| limit | Maximum inspections to return. Default 50, max 500. |
