State Context: Within MN, this facility's penalty places it at the 100th percentile among 58,337 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $1,403.06.

Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 9 citations spanning 9 distinct OSHA regulatory standards.

Enforcement Timeline: Citations were issued beginning July 15, 1994 with the latest abatement deadline set for August 17, 1994. Of the 9 total citations, 3 (33%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.
