Steps

  1. Note that the legacy enforcedata.dol.gov API has been retired; OSHA inspection data is being migrated to DOL's modernized Open Data Portal at apiprod.dol.gov/v4 — confirm current endpoint status before building against either.
  2. Reference developer.dol.gov's 'DOL OSHA Enforcement' dataset documentation for table structure: Inspection, Violation, Accident, Accident Injury, Related Activity, and Strategic Codes tables, joined on activity_nr.
  3. Filter the Violation table's 'standard' column for Subpart L citations (1926.450–.454 series) to isolate scaffold-specific enforcement history for a given employer, NAICS code, or geography.
  4. Cross-check data.gov's 'DOL Enforcement Data - Inspection' catalog listing for the current dataset refresh date before treating results as current.
  5. For a quick employer-specific lookup without building API integration, use OSHA's own public establishment search tools at osha.gov/data as a lighter-weight alternative.
