|---|---|---|
| OSHA inspections opened, per year | 17.7 | 20.6 |

Resident population: US Census Bureau Vintage 2025 estimates (Delaware: 1,059,952). Records are attributed to the state of the establishment (OSHA), the employer address (WHD) or the employer's headquarters on the application (OFLC), so a state that hosts many headquarters shows more filings per resident.
