The HazIndex Excavation and Trenching OSHA Violations - Top Employers by OSHA Citations ranking shows published recorded citations for Excavation and Trenching during the active public release. HazIndex is an independent publisher of workplace-safety rankings and analysis derived from public OSHA enforcement data, and this article summarizes the ranking without adding a new raw-data calculation.
The ranking covers OSHA citations issued from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2025. It groups the public read-model results by employer and sorts them by citations. The parent HazIndex Excavation and Trenching index provides the broader index context for OSHA standard 1926.651.
What this ranking measures
This ranking measures recorded citations already published in the HazIndex public read model. It does not normalize for employment, number of establishments, hours worked, inspection volume, or production levels. The ranking is therefore best read as a structured view of recorded OSHA enforcement outcomes, not as a complete measure of present-day safety conditions.

Leading results
The leading rows show where recorded OSHA enforcement activity is highest within this published ranking. R CONSTRUCTION CIVIL LLC is first, followed by MAURO SEWER CONSTRUCTION, INC. and K & C ELECTRIC PLUMBING HVAC INC. Those positions are rank statements from the HazIndex table; they do not establish why the entities appear in that order.
- Rank 1: R CONSTRUCTION CIVIL LLC with 12 citations.
- Rank 2: MAURO SEWER CONSTRUCTION, INC. with 12 citations.
- Rank 3: K & C ELECTRIC PLUMBING HVAC INC with 12 citations.
- Rank 4: WESTERN STATES CONTRACTING, INC. with 11 citations.
- Rank 5: KNIFE RIVER CORPORATION - MOUNTAIN WEST with 11 citations.
The difference between the first and second rows is 0 in the selected metric. Smaller rank gaps should be interpreted carefully because a nearby value can separate adjacent positions. Larger gaps can make the top position more visually distinct, but the ranking itself still does not establish a cause for the difference.
Concentration and distribution
The published total across this ranking is 629 citations. The first three rows account for 5.7% of that total, while the first five account for 9.2%. By the tenth row, the visible top tier accounts for 17.6% of the published total.
Those percentages describe the distribution inside this HazIndex ranking only. They are useful for seeing whether recorded enforcement outcomes are concentrated near the top of the table or spread more broadly across the ranked employers. They do not show whether unranked entities had no OSHA activity, and they do not replace the official records maintained by OSHA.
What the ranking does not show
Because this is an employer ranking, the company names should be read as public-record entries for the covered period, not as a statement about current conditions. HazIndex does not make legal conclusions about any employer, and readers should consult official OSHA records for authoritative case details.
The ranking does not prove that one employer is less safe than another, and it does not measure injuries, near misses, or current operating practices. It also does not show every workplace-safety event. It is a public HazIndex analysis layer over recorded OSHA enforcement data for a defined period.
Methodology and sources
HazIndex builds public ranking pages from materialized ranking rows, ranking definitions, yearly period values, and release metadata in the active public release. This Insight uses the same published output shown on the canonical ranking page and does not query large OSHA source-row tables or change the ranking calculation.
Readers can continue with the canonical HazIndex ranking, the parent HazIndex index, the HazIndex workplace-safety indexes hub, and the HazIndex dataset license and usage page. For authoritative case-level details, consult official OSHA resources such as OSHA Data and OSHA Establishment Search.
