Company | OSHA Enforcement Inspections, 2006-2011 | Employees | Inspections per 100,000 Employees |
|---|---|---|---|
Ford | 389 | 164,000 | 237.2 |
Home Depot | 406 | 189,390 | 214.4 |
Lowes | 247 | 161,000 | 153.4 |
Costco | 99 | 82,000 | 120.7 |
Whole Foods | 26 | 45,300 | 57.4 |
Target | 203 | 355,000 | 57.2 |
McDonald's | 69 | 400,000 | 17.3 |
Walmart | 215 | 2,100,000 (1,400,000 U.S. only) | 10.2 (or 15.4 U.S. only) |
The table above shows: a) the number of OSHA enforcement inspections over the last five years for a sample of large U.S. companies, along with b) the number of employees at those companies (from Yahoo! Finance), and finally c) the number of OSHA inspections per 100,000 employees at those companies.
Note that when adjusted for the number of employees, Walmart has the best safety record by far among the group of retailers and manufacturers (Ford). Walmart's main competitor Target has almost six times more OSHA enforcement inspections, and Costco has twelve times as many.
Conclusion: Wal-Mart has a much better safety record than Target, Home Depot, Lowes, McDonald's, Whole Foods, Costco and Ford, when measured by inspections per employee, and therefore gets the Gold Medal for employee safety.
Update: Even after adjusting for Walmart's U.S. employees only (1.4 million), and not adjusting any of the other companies for U.S. employees only, Walmart still comes out ahead with the best safety record per 100,000 employees.
