What the public record shows
Each fact comes from a government record or the company's own materials.
- 4.10 recordable injuries per 100 full-time workers in 2025, from OSHA injury reports for its Texas sites. The national rate for the same industries is 5.10 (BLS, 2024).
- 1.30 injuries per 100 full-time workers led to days away, restricted duty, or a job transfer in 2025.
- 2 OSHA serious, willful, or repeat citations in Texas, last 5 years, from 5 inspections since 2020.
- 1 layoff notice filed with the Texas Workforce Commission in the last 3 years, covering 15 workers.
- 10 unfair labor practice charges filed with the NLRB against this employer in Texas, last 5 years. A charge is an allegation, not a finding.
- The company's own materials describe 3 of 9 workplace practices Workarma looks for: training or tuition programs, paid leave, and mental health or assistance benefits.
Government enforcement records are mostly complaint-driven. A short record is not proof of good conditions, and a long one can reflect a large workforce or active reporting.
