+OSHA Citations — Q1 2026 (Citation-Level)
+Every OSHA citation issued in the first quarter of 2026 — 28,828 rows, one per cite — joined to the inspection that produced it and the resolved employer that received it. Source: the U.S. Department of Labor's IMIS violation feed.
+
+This is the citation-grain view, not the inspection-grain rollup. An inspection that issued six citations contributes six rows. An employer cited at five separate inspections during the quarter contributes one row per cite across those inspections. That granularity makes it directly usable for severity-class analysis (Serious / Willful / Repeat / Other), per-citation penalty work, and gravity-score studies.
+
+What's in each row
+The 18 columns cover three layers:
+
+Citation: citation_id, viol_type, gravity, initial_penalty, current_penalty, issuance_date
+Inspection context: inspection_id, inspection_type (Accident / Complaint / Planned / Referral), inspection_open_date, inspection_close_date, state, zip5
+Resolved employer: employer_id (a stable FastDOL UUID), employer_name, naics_code, naics_description, parent_name (from SEC EDGAR Exhibit 21), and agencies_alltime — a pipe-delimited cross-agency footprint string that surfaces which other federal agencies (WHD, EPA, etc.) have ever taken action against the same resolved entity.
+The cross-agency identity resolution is the part you can't reconstruct from the raw OSHA feed. It's what turns a list of citations into a corporate-accountability dataset.
+
+Coverage and limitations
+Federal-OSHA jurisdiction only. Citations from state-plan states (California, Oregon, Washington, North Carolina, and 18 others) are not included — those agencies publish separately. This is the largest single coverage gap.
+Penalty amounts are assessment, not collection. current_penalty reflects post-settlement values where applicable, pre-collection.
+standard_cited and contest_date are not in this release. Both are spec'd in the OSHA feed but not currently bound by the FastDOL loader; a follow-up release will add them.
