This dataset covers every U.S. employer with at least one severe injury report filed under OSHA's mandatory 24-hour reporting rule (29 CFR 1904.39) since 2015. Each row is one employer with aggregated counts of hospitalizations, amputations, and eye losses, plus the rate at which those reports triggered follow-up inspections. The dataset includes the most common event type, body part, and injury nature per employer, enforcement context (total OSHA violations, penalties, willful citations, and fatalities), and cross-agency indicators showing which employers also have records at WHD, MSHA, NLRB, EPA, and other federal agencies. Source data comes from OSHA's Severe Injury Report database, linked to FastDOL's multi-agency entity resolution pipeline covering 2.3 million employer profiles.

Licensed under CC BY 4.0. Attribution to FastDOL and the dataset DOI (10.5281/zenodo.20401991) is required in any published work. This dataset is derived from public federal government records.

Forbidden Usage
Do not attempt to identify individual injured workers using this data. Do not use this data to deny employment, insurance, or services to individuals. Do not represent this data as originating from OSHA or the U.S. Department of Labor directly — it has been processed through FastDOL's entity resolution pipeline and includes derived fields not present in the original source.
Ethical Review
This dataset is derived entirely from public federal government records published by OSHA under the Freedom of Information Act. No human subjects were involved in the data collection. The dataset contains employer-level aggregates, not individual worker records. No personally identifiable information about injured workers (names, dates of birth, addresses) is included. Injury events are attributed to employers, not to individuals. The entity resolution and cross-agency linkage process operates solely on employer names and business addresses.
Intended Use
Contractor pre-qualification and safety screening. Insurance underwriting and risk assessment for workers' compensation and general liability policies. Investigative journalism on workplace injury patterns and OSHA enforcement gaps. Academic research on occupational safety, severe injury trends, and regulatory effectiveness. ESG and compliance due diligence. Policy analysis on whether severe injury reports lead to enforcement action. Identifying employers with recurring severe injuries across multiple facilities.
