Per-capita context
| Per 100,000 residents (2025 population estimate) | Utah | US |
|---|---|---|
| OSHA inspections opened, per year | 25.5 | 20.6 |
| OSHA citations issued, per year | 38.1 | 38.2 |
| WHD cases concluded since fiscal year 2005 | 126.6 | 107.3 |

Resident population: US Census Bureau Vintage 2025 estimates (Utah: 3,538,904). 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.
