Employers with Most OSHA-Recorded Injuries

Top 50 employers with the highest total workplace injury counts from OSHA records.

What This Ranking Tells Us

OSHA requires employers to record workplace injuries and illnesses. This ranking shows employers with the highest total recorded injury counts. Large employers in retail, warehousing, food processing, and healthcare naturally report more injuries due to having more workers and higher-risk work environments. Raw injury counts should be evaluated alongside the DART rate (injuries per 100 workers) for a fair comparison across different company sizes.

Reading This Ranking in Context

This ranking of "employers with most osha-recorded injuries" is computed directly from the underlying PlainEmployers dataset — no editorial cherry-picking, no paid placements. 50 employers currently qualify for this ranking based on our minimum-filing and minimum-record thresholds. At position one, Amazon.com Services LLC (CA) leads the list with a injuries of 12,967, a figure pulled directly from the most recent federal or state disclosure rather than corporate self-reporting. The underlying source — Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) injury records — is a legally mandated filing, which is why we treat it as the authoritative signal rather than survey data or crowd-sourced reviews.

OSHA requires employers to record workplace injuries and illnesses. This ranking shows employers with the highest total recorded injury counts. Large employers in retail, warehousing, food processing, and healthcare naturally report more injuries due to having more workers and higher-risk work environments. Raw injury counts should be evaluated alongside the DART rate (injuries per 100 workers) for a fair comparison across different company sizes. Across the 50 employers on this specific list, the median injuries sits at approximately 4,757, so a visitor comparing an individual employer's profile page against this ranking can quickly see whether they're near the top of the list, the middle, or just above the qualifying threshold. That context matters: a rank of 40 on a list of 50 means something very different from a rank of 40 on a list of 2,000, and the ranking page surfaces both the position and the value so readers can judge significance for themselves.

Every row links back to an individual employer profile with the full underlying records — H-1B filing dates and disclosed salaries by job title, OSHA DART rates with total injury counts, WARN Act notices with dates and affected headcount. That drill-down is deliberate: a ranking number in isolation doesn't tell a jobseeker, reporter, or compliance researcher what they need to know, but combined with the per-employer disclosure trail it becomes actionable. PlainEmployers re-runs these rankings on a recurring ETL schedule, so newly filed federal disclosures and state WARN notices update the leaderboard without manual intervention, and retired records fall off as they age beyond the relevance window. Cross-reference this ranking with the industry and metro pages to see whether the pattern is concentrated in specific sectors or geographies.

Frequently Asked Questions

What injuries must be reported to OSHA?

Employers must record work-related injuries and illnesses that result in death, days away from work, restricted work activity, job transfer, medical treatment beyond first aid, loss of consciousness, or diagnosis of a significant injury/illness by a healthcare professional. Minor injuries treated only with first aid are not required to be recorded.

Does a high injury count mean the employer is unsafe?

Not necessarily. Large employers like Amazon and Walmart naturally report more total injuries because they employ hundreds of thousands of workers. The DART rate (days away, restricted, or transferred per 100 full-time workers) provides a better comparison by normalizing for employer size. Compare an employer DART rate to the industry average for a meaningful safety assessment.

How current is OSHA injury data?

OSHA injury records are typically reported annually. Data may lag by 6-12 months. Some records come from OSHA inspections rather than employer self-reporting. Our database includes the most recent available data at the time of our last update.
