According to U.S. Department of Labor enforcement records, MCDONNELL DOUGLAS CORP — a industry sector 00 facility located at 1215 NORTH 2200 WEST, SALT LAKE CITY, UT 84116 — was the subject of a formal OSHA inspection that resulted in 8 citation(s) and cumulative proposed penalties of $36,900.00. The inspection case was opened on 1994-12-13.

Federal investigators determined that one or more violations at this facility were committed willfully — meaning the employer either knowingly failed to comply with OSHA standards or acted with plain indifference to employee safety. Willful violations carry the highest penalty multipliers under the OSH Act.

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 8 citations spanning 5 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 3 serious — A workplace hazard that could cause death or serious physical harm exists, and the employer knew or should have known about the condition. 4 other-than-serious — The violation has a direct relationship to job safety and health but is unlikely to cause death or serious physical harm. 1 willful — The employer intentionally and knowingly committed the violation, demonstrating either an intentional disregard for the requirements of the OSH Act or plain indifference to employee safety and health.

Enforcement Timeline: Citations were issued beginning March 23, 1995 with the latest abatement deadline set for April 23, 1996. Of the 8 total citations, 8 (100%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, indicating substantial compliance with corrective action requirements.

Penalty Assessment: The cumulative penalty of $36,900.00 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 $4,612.50 falls within the standard penalty range.

The enforcement profile for this McDonnell Douglas facility reveals a critical breakdown in safety management, anchored by a significant willful violation that accounted for nearly 98% of the total $36,900 penalty. The assessment of a willful classification indicates that the employer demonstrated either an intentional disregard for OSHA requirements or a plain indifference to worker safety, a high legal threshold that elevates the facility’s liability profile.
