HACO INC.

According to U.S. Department of Labor enforcement records, HACO INC. — a industry sector 00 facility located at 303 S.W. ARCH ST., ATLANTA, IL 61723 — was the subject of a formal OSHA inspection that resulted in 31 citation(s) and cumulative proposed penalties of $8,456.00. The inspection case was opened on 1989-10-18.

The volume of citations issued during this inspection suggests systematic compliance deficiencies rather than isolated incidents. Facilities with 10 or more citations typically face comprehensive abatement requirements and may be subject to follow-up inspections.

State Context: Within IL, this facility's penalty places it at the 91th percentile among 88,899 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $3,496.90.

Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 31 citations spanning 12 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 12 serious — A workplace hazard that could cause death or serious physical harm exists, and the employer knew or should have known about the condition. 3 repeat — A substantially similar violation was found during a previous inspection and the original citation has become a final order.

Enforcement Timeline: Citations were issued beginning March 26, 1990 with the latest abatement deadline set for May 30, 1990. Of the 31 total citations, 15 (48%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.

Penalty Assessment: The total proposed penalty of $8,456.00 falls within OSHA's standard enforcement range and may have been adjusted through informal settlement conference procedures, penalty reduction factors, or good faith credit for demonstrated safety and health management systems.
