NATIONAL BY-PRODUCTS, INC.

According to U.S. Department of Labor enforcement records, NATIONAL BY-PRODUCTS, INC. — a industry sector 00 facility located at 755 S. FARMLAND RD., GARDEN CITY, KS 67846 — was the subject of a formal OSHA inspection that resulted in 11 citation(s) and cumulative proposed penalties of $17,875.00. The inspection case was opened on 1992-09-15.

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 KS, this facility's penalty places it at the 97th percentile among 19,826 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $3,225.89.

Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 11 citations spanning 7 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 2 serious — A workplace hazard that could cause death or serious physical harm exists, and the employer knew or should have known about the condition. 8 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 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 December 10, 1992 with the latest abatement deadline set for January 11, 1993. Of the 11 total citations, 11 (100%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, indicating substantial compliance with corrective action requirements.

Penalty Assessment: The cumulative penalty of $17,875.00 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 $1,625.00 falls within the standard penalty range.

The enforcement profile for National By-Products, Inc. reveals a facility struggling with fundamental mechanical safeguards and energy control protocols, characterized most significantly by a high-gravity repeat violation of 29 CFR 1910.212(a)(1). This
