State Context: Within UT, this facility's penalty places it at the 99th percentile among 21,375 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $1,557.94.

Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 40 citations spanning 10 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 7 serious — A workplace hazard that could cause death or serious physical harm exists, and the employer knew or should have known about the condition. 8 other-than-serious — The violation has a direct relationship to job safety and health but is unlikely to cause death or serious physical harm.

Enforcement Timeline: Citations were issued beginning January 4, 2000 with the latest abatement deadline set for November 26, 2003. Of the 40 total citations, 15 (38%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.
