Source: U.S. Department of Labor, OSHA enforcement data, violation and inspection tables (apiprod.dol.gov/v4),
extracted Oct 27, 2026.

What is counted
  An item is one line of an OSHA citation: one standard, usually one paragraph, in one inspection.
  The files count items issued from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025 (FY2025). Deleted items are left out, and
  each item is counted once by inspection and citation number. Federal OSHA and the State Plans are counted together.
  An item counts under a federal number of 29 CFR part 1904, Recording and Reporting Occupational Injuries and Illnesses.
  Items that California, Washington, Oregon and Michigan cite under their own recordkeeping and reporting rules count
  under the part 1904 section their rule corresponds to, read in each state's own text on Oct 27, 2026 (column state_rule_items).
  The trade is the first four digits of the NAICS code on the inspection.

Files
  sections.csv     each part 1904 section cited: items, inspections, items under state rule numbers, penalties
  paragraphs.csv   each part 1904 paragraph cited under a federal number, with its heading or first words in the eCFR
  trades.csv       each four-digit NAICS trade with one item or more
  state-rules.csv  each California, Washington, Oregon and Michigan rule number counted, as recorded in the data,
                   the part 1904 section it is counted under, and the rule numbers left out with the reason

Opening the files
  The CSV files are UTF-8 with a byte order mark, so Excel opens them directly with the right characters.

Columns
  items                      citation items
  inspections                inspections that carry one or more of those items
  share_pct                  share of all the items of the study
  small_establishment_items  items at establishments with 1 to 20 employees, as recorded on the inspection
  initial_penalties_usd      sum of the initial_penalty field, the penalty as issued
  current_penalties_usd      sum of the current_penalty field as recorded on the extraction date
  median_..._per_penalized_item_usd  median of the items whose amount in that field is above $0

Limits
  These counts describe inspected establishments, not every employer. A citation is OSHA's allegation until it
  becomes a final order. FY2026 is not used: it is not complete in the Department of Labor's data. Rule numbers of the
  four states that could not be read, or that are not recordkeeping rules, are left out (state-rules.csv lists them).
  The size is the number of employees at the inspected establishment. The partial exemption of 29 CFR 1904.1 counts
  the entire company over the last calendar year, so the files cannot tell which employers were exempt.
  No establishment is named.
