Recent OSHA inspections and citations: Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors (NAICS 238220)
Counts of OSHA inspections opened in each window ending October 31, 2026, from the U.S. Department of Labor's OSHA enforcement data (snapshot 2026-10-31; latest inspection open date in the file: 2026-10-28). Includes federal OSHA and State Plan inspections recorded in the national database.
The last few days are incomplete: OSHA offices enter inspections after they open, so recent counts rise as data arrives. Citations are published later than inspections (OSHA says citation details may appear 5 days after the employer receives them for federal inspections and 30 days for State Plan inspections), so recent inspections often show none yet.

“Citations” counts non-deleted violation items OSHA has published for that inspection, with the current penalty (which can change through settlement or contest). Names that don't look like a business or public body are withheld (why). Street addresses are not shown. Check each record on OSHA's site using its activity number (not shown when the name is withheld).
