OSHA Enforcement Leads — ranked by penalty & willful/repeat

US employers with OSHA citations, pulled from DOL's bulk Inspection + Violation API (api.dol.gov/v4) — federal + all state plans, updated daily. Joined on activity_nr, ranked hottest-first by penalty and willful/repeat severity.

Buyers: OSHA defense attorneys (open cases, contestable fines) and safety consulting firms (willful/repeat — systemic failures).

Why this is the better engine

• API-first, not HTML scraping. Structured JSON, daily refresh. Doesn't rot when OSHA changes a web page (the failure mode of the old IMIS scraper).
• Ranks the whole recent universe, not a shallow oldest-first sample.
• Fixed urgency scoring. Penalty + violation severity drive the score; recency is a bonus, not a cap — so a big willful case ranks critical regardless of age. (The old actor could never exceed "medium.")
• Fails loud. Schema-checks both datasets first; if DOL renames a field, the run errors instead of emitting junk.
• Readable standards. 19100212 A01 → 1910.212(a)(1).

Setup — DOL API key (required)

The OSHA data is gated behind a free key:

1. Register at dataportal.dol.gov (Login.gov).
2. Copy your API key.
3. Paste it into the actor's "DOL API key" input.

Rate limit: DOL allows ~250 requests/hour with a small burst. The fetch layer paces at ~15s/request and backs off long on 429, so a normal run stays within quota. Don't fire many runs back-to-back in the same hour.

Filters (all dropdowns, except typed date + max records)

Filter	Default	Notes
DOL API key	—	required
Inspection opened on/after	last 365 days	typed/picked exact date
Violation type	All	willful / repeat / willful-or-repeat / serious+
States	All	multi-select (incl. territories)
Industry sector	All	construction, manufacturing, healthcare, …
Minimum penalty	Any	$5k / $10k / $25k / $50k / $100k+
Case status	Both	open (attorneys) / closed (consultants)
Lead type	All	open hazard / contest / safety rebuild / multiple
Max records	All	typed number

How it works

1. Pull inspections opened ≥ date floor + violations issued ≥ date floor (server-side).
2. Join on activity_nr; keep only cited inspections.
3. Aggregate violations → penalties, willful/repeat/serious counts, decoded standards.
4. Classify lead type, score urgency, rank hottest-first, apply filters, cap, push.
