|---|---|---|
| OSHA inspections opened, per year | 27.3 | 20.6 |
| OSHA citations issued, per year | 45.8 | 38.1 |
| WHD cases concluded since fiscal year 2005 | 48.7 | 107.3 |

Resident population: US Census Bureau Vintage 2025 estimates (Minnesota: 5,830,405). 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.
