State Context: Within UT, this facility's penalty places it at the 98th percentile among 21,375 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $1,557.94.
Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 11 citations spanning 4 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. 3 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 September 19, 2008 with the latest abatement deadline set for October 22, 2008. Of the 11 total citations, 5 (45%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.
Penalty Assessment: The total proposed penalty of $7,850.00 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.
