US OSHA workplace-safety standards (29 CFR) AND OSHA enforcement records — inspections, violations, and penalties by establishment.

Tools

• osha_standard(citation) — full text of one OSHA standard by citation (e.g. “1910.132”), or a part’s section list.
• osha_search(query, limit?) — keyword search across OSHA standards (29 CFR parts 1900–1990).
• osha_inspections(establishment?, state?, since?, limit?) — OSHA inspections for a named establishment and/or state, with dates, inspection type, scope, and open/closed status.
• osha_inspection(activity_nr) — one inspection’s violations: standard cited, violation type, instances, employees exposed, and initial + current penalty amounts, with totals.
• osha_establishment_summary(name, state?) — rolled-up inspection count, violation count, total penalties, last inspection date, and the distinct establishment names matched.

Auth

• osha_standard / osha_search: keyless (eCFR).
• osha_inspections / osha_inspection / osha_establishment_summary: platform key (PLATFORM_DOL_KEY) with BYO override via _apiKey — the same key and the same DOL Open Data Portal account the dol-whd pack uses.

Data sources

• https://www.ecfr.gov/api — eCFR, for the standards tools.
• https://apiprod.dol.gov/v4/get/osha/inspection/json — OSHA Inspection (DOL dataset 10334).
• https://apiprod.dol.gov/v4/get/osha/violation/json — OSHA Violation (DOL dataset 10338).

Both enforcement tables are called live, per request — no stored copy. Measured 2026-10-09/10 against the live API:

• The HTML establishment-search UI the original task named (osha.gov/pls|ords/imis/establishment.search) sits behind an AWS WAF “Human Verification” CAPTCHA on every request — HTTP 405, x-amzn-waf-action: captcha — even from a plain curl with a full browser User-Agent. That is a JS/CAPTCHA challenge, not a UA check, so no server-side fetch (including a Cloudflare Worker) can pass it. It is not used by this pack.
• enforcedata.dol.gov 301-redirects to data.dol.gov, the same React SPA host dol-whd already reverse-engineered. Its real API — apiprod.dol.gov/v4 — serves OSHA’s inspection and violation tables live and per-request, filterable by filter_object, not as a bulk-download catalog. Frequency is “Daily”; a live violation row’s load_dt was the day before this was built. No baking, no KV/D1, no database — this reuses dol-whd’s already-funded platform key.
• Row access repeats two dol-whd findings: the /v4/get/... endpoint REJECTS the key as an X-API-KEY HEADER (401) and requires it as a QUERY PARAMETER instead; a zero-match query answers HTTP 204 with an EMPTY body, not {"data":[]}.
• NEW, not documented anywhere DOL publishes: like matching on estab_name is CASE-SENSITIVE and the column is stored UPPER-CASE — %walmart% 204s, %WALMART% 200s for the identical establishment. Every name/establishment argument is upper-cased before building the filter.
• The ~20-call/10-minute 429 throttle dol-whd documented is shared by this dataset (hit it live while building this pack). On 429, each enforcement tool backs off twice, then returns reason: 'upstream_rate_limited' rather than a bare throw or a silent found:false.
• data_as_of on every enforcement response is the call’s own timestamp — there is no cache to report a load date for; the request IS the read.
