What the Data Says About Manufacturing
The Manufacturing sector (NAICS 31-33) contains 45,665 employers with OSHA enforcement records, generating 115,522 inspections and 355,720 documented violations across the industry. That works out to 3.08 violations per inspection and roughly 2.5 inspections per employer. Cumulative OSHA penalties against this sector total $703.7M, averaging $6K per inspection.
Compared against every other industry PlainWorker tracks, Manufacturing ranks #1 of 22 when measured by average penalty per inspection. The cross-industry average sits near $2K per inspection, so this sector runs above 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.
