Most-cited federal OSHA standards
The 300 federal OSHA standards with the most citation items in public U.S. Department of Labor and OSHA enforcement records, grouped by CFR part. Each one links to the public penalty outcomes and comparable cases for that standard. State Plan records are excluded.
The underlying records hold 5,814,935 public federal OSHA citation items issued March 1972 – September 2026.
Medians are computed over items with a nonzero proposed penalty; the share that ended at $0 is shown separately.
29 CFR Part 1910 — General industry
