List of 1500 worst OSHA violators

OSHA published a list of the 1,500 worst violators of US Health and Safety Laws.  Attached is the link and the database. 
Many of these violators are bad actors in other arenas.
Description of who is on the list:
The employers are those whose establishments are covered by Federal OSHA and reported the highest "Days Away from work, Restricted work or job Transfer injury and illness" (DART) rate to OSHA in a survey of 2008 injury and illness data. For every 100 full-time workers, the 15,000 employers had 4.5 or more injuries or illnesses which resulted in days away from work, restricted work or job transfer. The national average is 2.0.
