OSHA has cited at its workplace in , Wisconsin, for violations, according to the agency's inspection record. The proposed penalty was $40,196, but a final order was entered on July 29, 2026, settling the citation. The final penalty amount is not stated in the record. The citations, issued on July 17, 2026, cover standards related to lockout/tagout procedures (19100147) and machine guarding (19100212). The inspection was opened on June 15, 2026. This record states the citation, the standards cited, and the penalty proposed. It does not state that anyone was hurt, and a citation is an allegation by the agency until a final order settles it.

How we work

This site models an investigative reporter rather than a wire desk. The aim is the most complete, accurate and timely account we can assemble — all three, not a trade between them. Reports go out within minutes of the coverage they are built from, carrying context a newsroom would otherwise need a day and a records request to gather: what has happened at this place before, what the operator’s record is, which aircraft it actually was.

Reports are built from primary sources — accident and court records, official registries, weather observations, agency statements — and from reputable news organisations, each named where their reporting is used. Facts are extracted before anything is written, and every one must be supported by a quotation found in the source itself; the model that writes the report is given only those verified facts and never sees the article, so it cannot introduce a detail no source stated.

Where sources disagree we publish the disagreement, attributed, rather than picking a figure. Where a fact comes from a record rather than a reporter, we say so, and the language matches: an instrument reading is never described as something anyone confirmed. Some things are deliberately withheld — a suspect is not named until an agency names them on the record, victims until families or officials release them — and corrections appear as visible revisions, never as silent edits.

None of that makes a report true. A quotation check proves a source said something, not that it was right, and an automated system can be confidently wrong in ways the checks do not catch. If something here is wrong, the feedback above is how it gets found. The full methodology, including what we refuse to publish.
