Construction Hazards in Missouri
In the federal enforcement record, construction is consistently among the most-cited industries in the federal enforcement file, with fall protection, ladder safety, and scaffolding standards driving the bulk of citations. The hazard profile reflects the work itself: elevated work, heavy machinery, electrical exposure, and constantly changing site conditions.
Of the 131 citations in this slice, 127 (97%) are classified as serious — well above the federal average. A high serious-violation share is the clearest signal that the citation count reflects substantive hazard exposure rather than paperwork or recordkeeping issues.
The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) enforces more than 200 specific standards covering everything from fall protection to respiratory exposure. Industry-level injury benchmarks come from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses, which publishes annual incidence rates by NAICS code.
How Missouri Enforces Workplace Safety
Missouri is a federal OSHA state, meaning inspections 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 to construction workplaces in this state.
Total final penalties exceed $1.5M, averaging $14K per cited employer. Penalty exposure at that scale typically requires either a fatality investigation, a serious incident, or a sustained pattern of willful and repeat citations across multiple worksites in the state.
Penalties on this page are final amounts after settlement, not the proposed amounts initially issued in the citation. OSHA regional offices have discretion to settle citations through informal conferences, and many cited employers negotiate substantial reductions in exchange for verifiable abatement plans.

Confidential complaints can be filed at osha.gov/workers/file-complaint or by calling 1-800-321-OSHA.

Methodology and Data Sources
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-state field, then roll those up to the parent company. Industry classification follows the NAICS code recorded by OSHA at the time of 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.
