## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## OSHA Violations Scraper

Search and download OSHA workplace safety inspection records, violation citations, penalties, and accident reports for any US employer. Filter by state, city, employer name, industry code, date range, violation type, and more.

### What it does

This actor queries the federal OSHA inspection database (5+ million inspections, 13+ million violations, 165K+ accident reports) and returns structured, analysis-ready data. No more wrestling with bulk government CSV downloads.

**Use cases:**

- Compliance teams screening vendors and contractors
- Insurance underwriters assessing workplace risk
- Journalists investigating employer safety records
- Researchers analyzing enforcement trends by industry or region
- Real estate due diligence on commercial properties

| `max_results` | number | Maximum inspections to return (default: 1000) |

### Output

Each record is an OSHA inspection with optional violation details:

```json

  "activity_nr": 1234567890,
  "estab_name": "Acme Construction LLC",
  "site_address": "123 Main St",
  "site_city": "Houston",

      "nr_exposed": 5,
      "gravity": "10"
    }
  ]
}
```

Export as JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML from the Apify dataset.

### Data source

All data comes from the U.S. Department of Labor's OSHA enforcement database, updated daily. Records go back decades and cover every federal OSHA inspection conducted in the United States.

### Cost

Runs are very fast since data is pre-indexed. A typical run fetching 1,000 inspections with violations completes in under 30 seconds and costs fractions of a cent in compute.

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,crowdpull/osha-violations-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
