The last few days are incomplete: OSHA offices enter inspections after they open, so recent counts rise as data arrives. Citations are published later than inspections (OSHA says citation details may appear 5 days after the employer receives them for federal inspections and 30 days for State Plan inspections), so recent inspections often show none yet.

To view the official record, search the activity # in OSHA's Establishment Search at osha.gov.

Not listed: 78 inspections whose establishment name is withheld (it may be an individual's name). We show only the count, because an inspection's details can be matched to OSHA's public file to identify the establishment.

“Citations” counts non-deleted violation items OSHA has published for that inspection, with the current penalty (which can change through settlement or contest). Names that don't look like a business or public body are withheld (why). Street addresses are not shown. Check each record on OSHA's site using its activity number (not shown when the name is withheld).

Frequently asked questions

What triggered OSHA inspections in New Mexico in the last 365 days?

Of the 310 inspections opened 2025-11-01 to 2026-10-31, the most common recorded inspection types were Complaint (91), Planned (77) and Referral (65). OSHA records why each inspection was opened, for example a complaint, a referral, an accident or a planned (programmed) inspection.

How many OSHA inspections in New Mexico led to citations?

So far 100 of the 310 inspections (32%) have at least one published, non-deleted citation item: 259 items (172 serious, 0 willful, 1 repeat) with $1,312,097 in current penalties. Recent inspections often show none yet because citations are published later.

Are OSHA inspection records public?

Yes. The U.S. Department of Labor publishes OSHA inspection and citation records as public enforcement data, which is the source of this page. Citation details may appear 5 days (federal OSHA) or 30 days (State Plans) after the employer receives them, and records in open cases can change.
