Search OSHA workplace accident investigations with incident narratives, injury demographics, fall data, chemical exposures, emphasis programs, and risk scoring.

What does this actor do?

This actor searches the DOL (Department of Labor) OSHA accident investigation database and joins up to 7 related datasets to build comprehensive accident case records:

1. Accident cases — Core investigation data: employer, location, date, event type, fatality/hospitalization/amputation flags
2. Accident abstracts — Full narrative text describing what happened in each incident
3. Accident injuries — Individual injury records with demographics (age, sex), occupation, nature of injury, body part, source of injury, fall distances
4. Related activities — Connected inspection activities for the same employer/site
5. Emphasis codes — Active OSHA emphasis programs (e.g., Falls, Trenching, PSM Chemical Facilities)
6. Violation general duty standard — Section 5(a)(1) citations for novel hazards with no specific standard

Each accident case is enriched with a risk score (0–100+) based on fatalities, hospitalizations, amputations, mass casualties, fall heights, emphasis programs, general duty citations, and minor workers.

Risk scoring

Each accident case receives a composite risk score:

Risk levels: Critical (80+), High (50–79), Medium (25–49), Low (<25)
