What the Data Says About Accommodation & Food Services
According to OSHA enforcement records (2010–2026), Accommodation & Food Services ranks #7 of 21 industries by average penalty per inspection ($3K). The Accommodation & Food Services sector (NAICS 72) contains 25,016 employers with OSHA enforcement records, generating 5,697 inspections and 13,390 documented violations across the industry. That works out to 2.35 violations per inspection and roughly 0.2 inspections per employer. Cumulative OSHA penalties against this sector total $16.8M.
The listing order matches most-dangerous industries: average penalty per inspection, highest first. The inspection-weighted cross-industry average sits near $4K per inspection, so this sector runs at or below the mean. Industries with higher average penalties typically see a greater share of serious, willful, or repeat violations, categories OSHA reserves for hazards likely to cause serious physical harm or where employers knowingly disregarded the law.
