Sources: Government contractor ranking from Government Executive's 1999 list. Multinational Monitor analyzed data for the top 25 defense contractors and the top 25 civilian, for-profit, non-mining contractors which were not among the top defense contractors. Raw OSHA citation data from the OSHA enforcement database, www.osha.gov. Compilations by Multinational Monitor. The OSHA database does not always indicate precise corporate names; our analysis tried to exclude penalties not clearly imposed on a contractor. The OSHA database also includes cases with open files, meaning some penalties may be revoked or, more likely, that additional penalties and fines may be meted out in connection with prior investigations.
