What the Data Says About Manufacturing

According to OSHA enforcement records (2010–2026), Manufacturing ranks #1 of 22 industries by average penalty per inspection ($6K). 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.

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 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.

The 45,665 employers shown below represent only workplaces with inspection or wage-theft enforcement records, not the full universe of Manufacturing businesses.
