Transportation and Warehousing in New Hampshire

In the federal enforcement record, transportation and warehousing has been one of OSHA's clearest enforcement priorities in recent years, with powered industrial truck operation, walking-working surfaces, and ergonomics among the leading citation categories. Workforce growth in fulfillment and distribution has expanded both the inspection footprint and the citation count.

Of the 22 citations in this slice, 22 (100%) 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.

New Hampshire 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 transportation and warehousing workplaces in this state.

Total final penalties across these companies reach $264K, averaging $7K per cited employer. That mid-range figure is consistent with a mix of settled, contested, and paid citations rather than any single catastrophic event.

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.

Workers in $transportation and warehousing workplaces in $New Hampshire retain the full set of federal protections, including the right to a safe workplace, the right to know about hazards, and the right to refuse imminent-danger work without retaliation.

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.
