Enforcement Analysis

According to U.S. Department of Labor enforcement records, MITCHELL'S OIL FIELD SERVICE, INC. — a industry sector 00 facility located at 4232 SH ELOB S.E. OF BAKER, BAKER, MT 59313 — was the subject of a formal OSHA inspection that resulted in 18 citation(s) and cumulative proposed penalties of $5,075.00. The inspection case was opened on 1997-03-10.

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 MT, this facility's penalty places it at the 92th percentile among 9,480 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $2,110.71.

Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 18 citations spanning 12 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 8 serious — A workplace hazard that could cause death or serious physical harm exists, and the employer knew or should have known about the condition. 7 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 April 15, 1997 with the latest abatement deadline set for May 18, 1997. Of the 18 total citations, 15 (83%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, indicating substantial compliance with corrective action requirements.

Penalty Assessment: The total proposed penalty of $5,075.00 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.
