The HazIndex Scaffolding OSHA Violations index organizes published workplace-safety rankings for Scaffolding in the active HazIndex public release. It helps readers move from a broad OSHA topic to specific ranking views by industry, state, employer, and penalty record where those views are available.
The index covers OSHA citations issued from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2025. HazIndex is an independent publisher of workplace-safety rankings and analysis derived from public OSHA enforcement data. OSHA remains the authoritative source for official enforcement records and case details.
What the index covers
This index focuses on OSHA standard 1926.451. It does not create a new enforcement dataset on this page; instead, it gathers the active public ranking definitions and their materialized public rows into a navigable topic page.
Ranking pages in this index
- Scaffolding OSHA Violations - Top Industries by OSHA Citations

Signals visible in the current release
The published ranking pages show different views of the same topic. Industry and state rankings summarize recorded citations by group, employer rankings identify public-record employer names in the covered period, and penalty rankings show large recorded final penalties where available.
- Scaffolding OSHA Violations - Top Industries by OSHA Citations: Foundation, Structure, and Building Exterior Contractors ranks first with 10,278 citations.
- Scaffolding OSHA Violations - Top States by OSHA Citations: TX ranks first with 2,187 citations.
- Scaffolding OSHA Violations - Top Employers by OSHA Citations: EVER CONTRACTORS, INC. ranks first with 20 citations.
- Scaffolding OSHA Violations - Largest OSHA Penalties: THOMAS BUILDERS OF VIRGINIA, INC. - 1926.453 - VA ranks first with $130K penalties.
These leading rows are useful starting points, but they should not be treated as causal explanations. The results show recorded OSHA enforcement outcomes in the public HazIndex release; they do not establish why a row appears at a particular rank.
How to read the index
Start with the ranking view that matches the question. Industry rankings are useful for sector-level patterns. State rankings support geographic review. Employer rankings must be read carefully as public-record summaries for the covered period, not as claims about current conditions. Penalty rankings show recorded penalty amounts and should not be treated as injury-frequency measures.
Methodology and sources
HazIndex builds the public index from materialized ranking definitions, ranking rows, and release metadata. This Insight uses only those published read-model outputs and does not query large OSHA source-row tables or change any ranking calculation.
Readers can review the canonical HazIndex index, browse the HazIndex workplace-safety indexes hub, and review reuse terms on the HazIndex dataset license and usage page. For official case-level details, use OSHA Data, OSHA enforcement information, and the OSHA Establishment Search.
