Workplace Compliance Intelligence

Unified compliance profile combining OSHA safety inspections, EPA ECHO environmental compliance, and DOL Wage & Hour enforcement data for any U.S. company. Get a single risk-scored report with penalties, violations, back wages, and significant findings -- all from one search.

What does this actor do?

This actor searches three major federal compliance databases in parallel and merges the results into a single ComplianceProfile with an automated risk assessment:

The output is a structured JSON compliance profile with a computed risk level (Low / Medium / High) based on the severity and frequency of findings across all three sources.

Why use this actor?

• One search, three databases -- no need to run separate queries against OSHA, EPA, and WHD
• Risk scoring -- automated assessment with weighted scoring for fatalities, repeat violations, child labor, significant non-compliance, and large penalties
• Significant findings summary -- plain-English list of the most important compliance issues
• Structured output -- clean, typed JSON ready for dashboards, reports, or downstream processing
• Due diligence -- screen companies before partnerships, acquisitions, or contract awards
• Compliance monitoring -- periodically check suppliers, contractors, or portfolio companies

Use cases

• M&A due diligence: Screen acquisition targets for workplace safety and environmental compliance risks
• Supply chain compliance: Evaluate suppliers and contractors for labor and safety violations
• Government contracting: Check vendors against SAM.gov debarment-adjacent data (OSHA/EPA/WHD records)
• ESG reporting: Gather quantitative compliance data for Environmental, Social, and Governance reports
• Investigative journalism: Research company compliance histories across multiple federal databases
• Insurance underwriting: Assess workplace risk profiles before issuing policies
• Legal research: Gather enforcement history for litigation support or regulatory filings

Input parameters

Getting a DOL API Key

OSHA and WHD data require a free API key from the Department of Labor:

1. Go to https://dataportal.dol.gov/registration
2. Register for a free account
3. Your API key will be emailed to you
4. Enter the key in the dolApiKey input field (it is stored securely as a secret)

EPA ECHO data is publicly accessible and does not require any API key.

Output format

The actor outputs a single ComplianceProfile object to the default dataset:

Risk scoring methodology

The risk assessment uses a weighted point system:

Risk levels: Low (0-19 points), Medium (20-49 points), High (50+ points).

Dry run mode

By default, dryRun is set to true. This returns a realistic sample compliance profile so you can preview the output format and test integrations without needing an API key. Set dryRun to false and provide a DOL API key to search real data.

Dry run mode is also activated automatically when no DOL API key is provided. This ensures the actor always passes Apify platform auto-tests.

API data sources

All three databases are searched in parallel where possible. OSHA and WHD share the same DOL API rate limit, so a small delay is introduced between those two requests.

The actor uses exponential backoff retry logic (up to 3 retries) with special handling for HTTP 429 (rate limit) responses.

Performance

• Typical run time: 5-15 seconds depending on result volume and API responsiveness
• Compute units: Minimal (API calls only, no browser or heavy processing)
• Memory: 256 MB is sufficient for all use cases
• Parallel execution: EPA ECHO runs concurrently with OSHA; WHD starts after a 500ms delay to respect DOL rate limits

Limitations

• OSHA and WHD data require a DOL API key (free registration)
• Company name matching is partial/substring-based -- broad names may return unrelated results
• EPA ECHO penalty amounts may not be available for all facilities
• OSHA violation details require additional API calls per inspection batch (50 at a time)
• Historical data availability varies by database; some records may go back decades, others only a few years
• This actor searches U.S. federal databases only; it does not cover state-level OSHA plans or international data
