About OSHA inspections

The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) conducts inspections under several triggers: programmed targeting of high-hazard industries, employee complaints, workplace accidents, fatalities, and follow-ups to prior citations.

📋
Citations

Each citation specifies a section of 29 CFR, a severity tier, and a proposed penalty. Employers can contest citations through OSHA’s informal conference or before the OSH Review Commission.

Open vs closed

An open case has not yet been administratively closed — citations may follow or the case may close without action.

💰
Current vs initial penalty

Initial penalty is the proposed amount at citation. Current penalty is the post-conference / settlement figure on file today.

🔗
Trigger types

A = Accident, B = Complaint, H = Programmed, F = Follow-up. See the glossary for all codes.
