Who holds workplace inspection records

Records may be held by one or more of the following depending on the inspection type and date:

  • Clark County departments (building, fire, code enforcement, licensing) for local inspections of businesses and structures.
  • Nevada Occupational Safety and Health (state-plan) for workplace safety inspections performed by the state.
  • Federal OSHA for inspections conducted by the U.S. Department of Labor.
  • Southern Nevada Health District for environmental health inspections (food service, public health hazards).
Search by business name and date range to narrow requests.

For federal OSHA or state-plan citations, monetary penalties and notice requirements apply; for county code or fire-code violations, local administrative fines and abatement orders may apply.
