The enforcement record for Nirbhao Hospitality, Inc. reveals a troubling concentration of high-gravity "Serious" violations that transcend simple housekeeping oversights, pointing instead to a systemic failure in fundamental mechanical and electrical safety management. With 18 total citations and penalties significantly exceeding industry averages for the hospitality sector (NAICS 721110), the facility demonstrated a pervasive disregard for physical hazard mitigation. The citations under 1910.219 for unguarded pulleys and sprocket chains indicate that employees were routinely exposed to "caught-in" hazards capable of causing amputations or severe crushing injuries. These mechanical risks were compounded by a lack of electrical safety training (1910.332) and improper equipment installation, suggesting that staff were tasked with operating or maintaining machinery without the requisite technical competency or protective oversight. The recurring themes of walking-working surface hazards (1910.22) and inadequate fall protection (1910.29) further underscore a reactive rather than proactive safety culture. While no "Willful" designations were issued, the breadth of the "Serious" citations—spanning electrical grounding, guarding, and PPE—suggests that safety was secondary to operational throughput. This pattern of neglect represents a high-liability environment where the lack of a comprehensive safety management system (SMS) left workers vulnerable to high-probability, high-impact incidents. For compliance professionals, this record serves as a case study in how the absence of basic preventative maintenance and safety training can lead to a compounding risk profile that invites heavy regulatory scrutiny.
This facility's $27,350 penalty is higher than 96% of all penalized companies in the NAICS 721110 industry in NV. The state average penalty for this industry is $7,221.
