REEDSBURG, Wisconsin, OSHA Violations

REEDSBURG appears in OSHA's Wisconsin enforcement record with citations across 8 distinct employers — a small footprint that makes individual cases more visible. In a city of this size, a single multi-citation inspection can move the city's totals materially, so the data is best read alongside the underlying inspection list rather than in aggregate.

Of 10 citations in REEDSBURG, 10 (100%) are classified as serious — well above the federal average. A high serious-violation share is the clearest signal that local citation counts reflect substantive hazard exposure rather than paperwork or recordkeeping issues.

For broader context, the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) publishes the controlling standards, and the Enforcement Results Data files are the primary public source for inspection and citation history.

Wisconsin is a federal OSHA state, so inspections in Wisconsin cities are conducted by federal compliance officers from the U.S. Department of Labor. Federal OSHA enforcement priorities — currently emphasizing fall protection, heat illness, and warehouse hazards — apply directly here.

Total final penalties across REEDSBURG cited employers reach $120K, averaging $15K per company. That mid-range figure is consistent with a mix of settled, contested, and paid citations rather than any single catastrophic incident.

Industry-level injury benchmarks for the region come from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses, which publishes annual incidence rates by NAICS code. Reading citation counts alongside injury rates is the cleanest way to interpret whether local enforcement activity reflects underlying hazard exposure.

Workers in REEDSBURG retain the full set of federal protections, including the right to a safe workplace, the right to know about hazards, the right to training in a language they understand, and the right to refuse imminent-danger work without retaliation. Confidential complaints can be filed at osha.gov/workers/file-complaint or by calling 1-800-321-OSHA. The OSHA Workers' Rights page spells out the full set of protections under Section 11(c) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act.

Counts on this page come from OSHA's public Integrated Management Information System (IMIS) enforcement file, refreshed from the Department of Labor's Enforcement Results Data files. We aggregate citations at the establishment level using the recorded site-city and site-state fields. Cities only appear on OSHARecord when at least five distinct employers have been cited there, ensuring the page reflects a real enforcement pattern rather than a single inspection.

The Workplace Safety Score shown on linked company pages applies four weighted factors: violation rate versus industry, share of serious-or-willful citations, repeat-citation ratio, and average penalty per inspection. Read the full methodology for the exact formula and edge cases.
