JOHN MORRELL & CO.

According to U.S. Department of Labor enforcement records, JOHN MORRELL & CO. — a industry sector 00 facility located at 801 E. KEMPER ROAD, CINCINNATI, OH 45246 — was the subject of a formal OSHA inspection that resulted in 86 citation(s) and cumulative proposed penalties of $123,300.00. The inspection case was opened on 1999-10-07.

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 OH, this facility's penalty places it at the 100th percentile among 91,405 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $3,818.37.

Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 86 citations spanning 6 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 13 serious — A workplace hazard that could cause death or serious physical harm exists, and the employer knew or should have known about the condition. 2 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 July 8, 1994 with the latest abatement deadline set for November 3, 2007. Of the 86 total citations, 15 (17%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.

Penalty Assessment: The cumulative penalty of $123,300.00 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 $1,433.72 falls within the standard penalty range.
