ROSEBUD OPERATING SERVICES, INC.

According to U.S. Department of Labor enforcement records, ROSEBUD OPERATING SERVICES, INC. — a industry sector 00 facility located at 2215 N. FRONTAGE ROAD, BILLINGS, MT 59101 — was the subject of a formal OSHA inspection that resulted in 52 citation(s) and cumulative proposed penalties of $52,062.50. The inspection case was opened on 1997-06-17.

Cumulative penalties significantly exceed the national median for OSHA enforcement actions. The penalty amount suggests multiple high-gravity citations, indicating conditions that presented a substantial probability of death or serious physical harm to employees.

State Context: Within MT, this facility's penalty places it at the 100th percentile among 9,480 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $2,110.71.

Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 52 citations spanning 10 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 July 2, 1997 with the latest abatement deadline set for December 22, 2004. Of the 52 total citations, 15 (29%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.

Penalty Assessment: The cumulative penalty of $52,062.50 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 $1,001.20 falls within the standard penalty range.

The sheer volume of 52 citations issued during this single enforcement action paints a portrait of a facility in a state of comprehensive regulatory collapse. The inspection revealed a dangerous nexus of high-gravity hazards, specifically centering on the Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout) and Machine Guarding. The $1,750 penalty for 1910.147(f)(4) and the $2,500 assessment for 1910.212(a)(1)—both carrying maximum gravity ratings—indicate that employees were routinely exposed to catastrophic risks, including crush injuries, amputations, or fatalities from unmitigated kinetic
