The inspection case was opened on 1990-08-01.

State Context: Within WI, this facility's penalty places it at the 99th percentile among 43,331 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $3,505.68.

Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 30 citations spanning 7 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 1 serious — A workplace hazard that could cause death or serious physical harm exists, and the employer knew or should have known about the condition. 11 other-than-serious — The violation has a direct relationship to job safety and health but is unlikely to cause death or serious physical harm. 3 repeat — A substantially similar violation was found during a previous inspection and the original citation has become a final order.
