Federal Davis-Bacon applies to projects with federal funding above a threshold; state "little Davis-Bacon" laws apply to state-funded projects with their own thresholds. The trap: rules apply to the work, not the contract — a privately funded portion of a project with any covered funding is subject to coverage on the whole.
Wage-rate violations carry back-pay liability, debarment from future public bidding, and personal liability for officers in many states. The audits look back years.
"Substantial completion" is achieved when the owner can occupy the project for its intended use — not when a punch list is finished or a percentage is hit. The status starts warranty clocks, transfers risk of loss, and triggers retention release in most contracts. Disputes over whether SC has been achieved are common at month-end.
Premature certification of substantial completion commits the contractor to warranty coverage on incomplete work; delayed certification gives the owner leverage to extend retention. The legal definition controls, not the status meeting.
Recordable injuries (OSHA 300 log entries) include any that require medical treatment beyond first aid. Reportable injuries — which trigger an immediate notification to OSHA — are limited to fatalities (within 8 hours) and inpatient hospitalizations, amputations, or eye losses (within 24 hours). The categories are not the same.
Confusing the two leads to either over-reporting (creating audit triggers) or under-reporting (which is itself a citation-worthy violation). Knowing the distinction protects both the safety record and the regulatory posture.
