It has two run modes. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README ### What does OSHA & EPA Violation Monitor do? **OSHA & EPA Violation Monitor** finds **US workplace-safety (OSHA) and environmental (EPA) enforcement cases** and returns them in **one normalised format**: facility, address, state, industry code, dates, violation type, number of citations, **initial and current penalty** and a **link to the official record**. Both sources are official, free US government data: - 🦺 **OSHA** inspections with citations, from the **US Department of Labor open data API** (the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's enforcement data). Citations are grouped per inspection, with the penalties added up and the most severe type (willful, repeat, serious, other-than-serious) shown. - 🌿 **EPA** civil and criminal enforcement cases, from the **EPA ECHO** web services (Enforcement and Compliance History Online): Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, RCRA, TSCA and other laws, with the federal penalty and the registered facility's address. You can search by **company name (fuzzy)**, **state(s)**, **NAICS or SIC code**, **date range** (default last 90 days) and **minimum penalty**. ### Who is it for? - **Insurers, underwriters and brokers**: check a client's or prospect's safety and environmental record before quoting. - **Lenders, investors and due-diligence teams**: spot repeat and willful violators and large penalties in a portfolio or a supply chain. - **Procurement and supplier-risk teams**: watch suppliers and contractors by name or by state and industry. - **Journalists and researchers**: find the biggest recent penalties in a state or an industry. - **Safety, ESG and compliance consultants**: lead lists of companies with fresh citations. ### How to use it 1. Click **Start** with the default input: **OSHA and EPA**, **Texas**, **last 90 days**, **minimum penalty $50,000**, up to 50 cases. 2. To check specific companies, add **company names** (for example `Cargill`, `Tyson Foods`); leave the state empty to search the whole country. 3. **Schedule** the Actor (for example weekly with the last 7 days) to get fresh cases, and connect the dataset to a spreadsheet, Slack or e-mail. #### The OSHA key OSHA data comes from the Department of Labor's API, which needs a **free API key** (register at [dataportal.dol.gov](https://dataportal.dol.gov)). The Actor reads the key from its own settings or from the optional **DOL API key** input field. **Without a key the Actor still runs: it returns the EPA cases and one free info row (`osha-key-missing`)** that explains how to switch OSHA on. You are never charged for that row. ### Input example ```json { "sources": ["osha", "epa"], "companyNames": ["Cargill", "Tyson Foods"], "states": ["TX", "OK"], "naicsCodes": ["311"], "daysBack": 90, "minPenalty": 50000, "maxResults": 50, "sortBy": "date" } ``` | Field | Meaning | | --- | --- | | `sources` | `osha`, `epa` or both (default both). | | `companyNames` | Optional fuzzy names. Legal suffixes (Inc, LLC, Corp) are ignored, plurals and small typos are tolerated, all words of your name must appear. OSHA matches the establishment name; EPA matches the case name. | | `states` | Two-letter state codes. Empty: whole country. | | `naicsCodes`, `sicCodes` | NAICS prefixes (2 to 6 digits) and 4-digit SIC codes, up to 5 each. A case matching any of them is included. | | `daysBack`, `dateFrom`, `dateTo` | The period, default the last 90 days. OSHA: citations issued in the period. EPA: cases with a filing, settlement, lodging or closing date in the period. | | `minPenalty` | Only cases with at least this current penalty in USD. For OSHA the penalties of the inspection's citations are added up. | | `maxResults` | Up to 1,000 (default 50). This also caps your cost. | | `sortBy` | `date` (newest first, default) or `penalty` (largest first); decides which cases are kept when there are more than the maximum. | | `epaFacilityDetails` | Adds the registered facility's name, address and NAICS to the first 60 EPA cases (two extra requests each). On by default. | | `dolApiKey` | Optional secret field for your own DOL key. | ### Output example Real output of a local run on 2 October 2026 with the default input, EPA part (no DOL key was available for the run): 18 cases in 43 seconds, here the first four. | Source | Facility | City | Latest action | Violation | Penalty | Status | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | epa | HESS CORPORATION | HOUSTON, TX | 2026-09-25 | Clean Water Act | $2,100,000 | Final Order Lodged | | epa | GERDAU MIDLOTHIAN PLANT | MIDLOTHIAN, TX | 2026-09-14 | TSCA (toxic substances) | $112,156 | Final Order Issued | | epa | INDORAMA VENTURES OXIDES, LLC - PASADENA PLANT | PASADENA, TX | 2026-09-14 | Clean Air Act | $132,737 | Final Order Issued | | epa | FRIONA PLANT | FRIONA, TX | 2026-09-08 | Clean Air Act | $313,000 | Final Order Issued | One row (real EPA data): ```json { "source": "epa", "caseId": "06-2026-3555", "facilityName": "INDORAMA VENTURES OXIDES, LLC - PASADENA PLANT", "caseName": "Indorama Ventures-Pasadena, TX-RMP CAFO-FY 2026", "address": "9801 BAY AREA BOULEVARD, PASADENA,", "city": "PASADENA", "state": "TX", "zip": "77507", "naics": "325199", "openDate": "2026-09-11", "closeDate": "2026-09-14", "actionDate": "2026-09-14", "status": "Final Order Issued", "violationType": "Clean Air Act", "violationBreakdown": "Administrative - Formal, section 112[R][7]", "citationCount": null, "initialPenalty": null, "currentPenalty": 132737.29, "outcome": "Final Order With Penalty", "matchedName": null, "matchScore": null, "url": "https://echo.epa.gov/enforcement-case-report?id=06-2026-3555", "retrievedAt": "2026-10-02T09:43:17.190Z", "error": null, "errorMessage": null } ``` An OSHA row has the same fields, with `citationCount`, `initialPenalty`, `currentPenalty` (sums over the inspection's citations in the period) and a `violationBreakdown` such as `Willful 1, Serious 1, Other-than-serious 1`. Its `url` points to the OSHA inspection page. `initialPenalty` and `outcome` do not exist for EPA cases and are `null` there; `citationCount` is `null` for EPA. ### Pair it with product recalls A company with fresh OSHA or EPA cases may also have product problems. Take the `facilityName` values and check them with the [US Product Recalls Monitor](https://apify.com/offerastudio/us-product-recalls-monitor) (FDA and CPSC recalls in one feed), for a fuller picture of a manufacturer or food business. ### How much does it cost? This Actor uses **pay per event**: | Event | Price | | --- | --- | | Case returned (one row per OSHA inspection or EPA case) | **$0.003** | | Info and error rows (missing key, no results, source errors) | **free** | - The default run (18 EPA cases) costs about **$0.054**; 1,000 cases cost **$3**. - Both government APIs are free. Apify also charges a tiny standard start fee per run. - Set **Maximum cost per run** in the run options and the Actor stops when it is reached; `maxResults` also caps the number of billed rows. ### Limitations - **Official data as published.** OSHA and EPA data can lag, contain errors and change; penalties are the agencies' figures at the time of the run. This is not legal advice or a compliance certificate. - **OSHA needs a key** (free). Without it only EPA is returned. OSHA's dataset has no state or company filter for citations, so the Actor reads the citations of the period and then looks up the inspections; very broad searches (a whole year, all states, no minimum penalty) read at most the newest 80,000 citations and check at most 6,000 inspections, and say so in the log. Narrow the search with a state or a minimum penalty. - **EPA company search matches the case name**, not every name the facility ever had. Case names usually contain the company name (`Cargill Meat Solutions-Friona, TX ...`), but not always. - **EPA dates**: the period matches cases with any milestone (filed, settled, lodged, closed) in it, so a case filed years ago but settled this month is included; `openDate` can then be old or empty. `actionDate` is the latest of the dates. - **EPA rate limit**: EPA ECHO allows about 300 requests an hour and 1,500 a day per IP address. A default run uses about 40. Facility details are therefore added to the first 60 cases only; the Actor reports a `rate-limited` problem as a free `epa-error` row and returns what it has. - **Penalties differ by source**: OSHA penalties are the sum of the citations' current and initial penalties; EPA shows the federal penalty assessed. State agencies' penalties and EPA's supplemental projects are not included. - No personal data about individuals is returned; sole proprietors appear under the establishment name the agency published. ### FAQ #### Is this official data? Yes. OSHA data comes from the US Department of Labor open data API and EPA data from EPA ECHO. The Actor links every row to the official record where one exists. #### Do I need to register anywhere? Only for OSHA: a free DOL API key. EPA needs nothing. #### Why do I get an `osha-key-missing` row? No DOL key was set. It is free and never charged. Add the key in the input or ask the Actor owner to set it. #### Can I look up a single company? Yes: put the name in `companyNames` and leave `states` empty (and consider a longer period, for example `daysBack` 365). A name matches when all its words appear in the establishment or case name, ignoring suffixes like Inc. #### How fresh is it? Both agencies publish with a delay: EPA ECHO refreshes its data on a regular schedule and OSHA citations often appear months after an inspection starts. `retrievedAt` shows when the Actor asked. ### More tools from the same developer All pay-per-result, no proxy or login needed, built and maintained by the same developer: **Website audits** -
