The inspection case was opened on 1996-06-10.

Cumulative penalties significantly exceed the national median for OSHA enforcement actions. The penalty amount suggests multiple high-gravity citations, indicating conditions that presented a substantial probability of death or serious physical harm to employees.

State Context: Within UT, this facility's penalty places it at the 100th percentile among 21,375 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $1,557.94.

Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 53 citations spanning 11 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 6 serious — A workplace hazard that could cause death or serious physical harm exists, and the employer knew or should have known about the condition. 9 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 6, 1992 with the latest abatement deadline set for April 19, 1993. Of the 53 total citations, 15 (28%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.

Penalty Assessment: The cumulative penalty of $68,325.00 reflects OSHA's gravity-based penalty calculation methodology, which considers the severity of potential injury, the probability of occurrence, the employer's size, good faith, and violation history. The per-citation average of $1,289.15 falls within the standard penalty range.
