Public Company Federal Compliance Record
Authors/Creators
Description
This dataset joins federal workplace enforcement records with SEC parent-company financial data for 42,302 US establishments operated by 714 publicly traded companies. Each row is one establishment with its parent company's financial context attached.
The joining is the point. OSHA inspection records, WHD wage cases, NLRB labor relations filings, and EPA environmental compliance are each available separately. SEC financial data is available separately. Joining them at the establishment level — with parent-company rollup applied — surfaces patterns that single-source searches miss.
What's in the data
Establishment identity: name, city, state, ZIP, NAICS classification
Parent identity: parent name, SEC CIK, ticker
Workplace safety (OSHA): inspection count, violations, penalties, fatalities, hospitalizations, severe violator program flag, inspection-trigger breakdown (accident / complaint / referral)
Wage enforcement (WHD): case count, total back wages, employees affected
Labor relations (NLRB): total cases, unfair labor practice cases, representation cases
Environmental (EPA): inspections, formal actions, non-compliance quarters, penalties, current compliance status
Parent financials (SEC): revenue, net income, total assets, facts-as-of date
FastDOL risk artifacts: risk tier (LOW / MEDIUM / ELEVATED / HIGH), risk score, agency violation count, peer violation percentile
Debarment status: SAM.gov exclusion flag
Findings to explore
The dataset surfaces patterns at the parent-company level that aren't visible in single-agency searches.
NLRB concentration in utilities. Edison International runs 89.2 NLRB cases per establishment across 115 locations. PG&E runs 84.6 across 237 locations. Major utilities cluster at 56–89 NLRB cases per establishment, far above any other sector represented in the data.
UPS and labor disputes. United Parcel Service has 149,690 NLRB cases across 1,586 establishments, the highest absolute count in the dataset by a wide margin.
Fatality density vs absolute count. Walmart has the most absolute OSHA fatalities (143). Tyson Foods has 117 fatalities across only 421 establishments — substantially higher per-establishment fatality density than any other major public company.
Restaurant chains skew toward wage cases. McDonald's has 1,249 WHD cases against 330 OSHA violations. Yum Brands and Restaurant Brands International show similar profiles. Wage enforcement, not workplace safety, is the dominant federal enforcement axis for QSR.
Risk distribution. 239 establishments are flagged HIGH risk and 2,041 ELEVATED. The remaining 39,022 are LOW or MEDIUM. The HIGH/ELEVATED subset (5.4% of the data) is where most cross-agency patterns concentrate.
Public-company debarments. 30 establishments in the dataset have public-company parents AND active SAM.gov federal contracting exclusions.
