Before you sign,

Reviews tell you if the finish was beautiful. Nothing tells you if the crew was dangerous.

How it works

01

Enter a contractor name

Type the company name. We match it against federal OSHA inspection records across all known aliases, branches, and prior names.

02

We pull their citation history

Severity-weighted violations, inspection frequency, recency of incidents, and abatement response times — sourced from DOL enforcement data.

03

Grade arrives in seconds

A clear A–F grade with recent citations, trade percentile comparison, and the data behind the score. Ready before the contract is signed.

The grade, explained

A
Clean record or minor infractions, fully abated. Low risk.
B
Some history, no serious incidents in 2+ years. Acceptable.
C
Notable violations, recent citations, or unresolved items. Investigate.
D
Serious or repeat violations, incomplete abatement, or multiple incidents.
F
Willful violations, fatalities, or unabated hazards. Do not hire.

Grading weighted by: violation severity (40%), citation recency (25%), frequency (20%), abatement response (15%). Compared within the same trade classification.

The contractor across your kitchen table already knows their safety record.

Now you do too. Hardhire brings the federal data that general contractors, insurers, and procurement teams have used for years — directly to homeowners, in seconds, before the bid.
