Investigation summaries are developed after OSHA conducts an inspection in response to a fatality, catastrophe or employer-reported referral that results in an inspection. The
summaries provide a complete description of the incident, generally including events leading up to the incident and causal factors. These summaries can be searched by keyword, text in the
summary description, event date, and industry (SIC or NAICS). You can also search for a specific inspection (Inspection number (Inspection Nr)).
The summaries currently available include completed investigations from 1984. Summaries for later dates (investigations that were completed within the last year) may not be available,
to provide time for OSHA staff to complete the investigation and allow for revisions to the summary, as necessary. Summaries must undergo a screening process for personal information
and to add keywords, which may cause some additional delay in publishing.
The Integrated Management Information System (IMIS) was designed as an
information resource for in-house use by OSHA staff and management, and by
state agencies which carry out federally-approved OSHA programs. Access to
this OSHA work product is being afforded via the Internet for the use of
members of the public who wish to track OSHA interventions at particular
work sites or to perform statistical analyses of OSHA enforcement
activity. It is critical that users of the data understand several aspects
of the system in order to accurately use the information.
The source of the information in the IMIS is the local federal or state
office in the geographical area where the activity occurred. Information
is entered as events occur in the course of agency activities. Until cases
are closed, IMIS entries concerning specific OSHA inspections are subject
to continuing correction and updating, particularly with regard to
citation items, which are subject to modification by amended citations,
settlement agreements, or as a result of contest proceedings. THE USER
SHOULD ALSO BE AWARE THAT DIFFERENT COMPANIES MAY HAVE SIMILAR NAMES AND
CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE ADDRESS MAY BE NECESSARY TO AVOID
MISINTERPRETATION.
The Integrated Management Information System (IMIS) is designed and
administered as a management tool for OSHA to help it direct its
resources. When IMIS is put to new or different uses, the data should be
verified by reference to the case file and confirmed by the appropriate
federal or state office. Employers or employees who believe a particular
IMIS entry to be inaccurate, incomplete or out-of-date are encouraged to
contact the OSHA field office or state plan agency which originated the
entry.
