The inspection case was opened on 1988-07-20.

State Context: Within NV, this facility's penalty places it at the 99th percentile among 27,382 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $1,830.01.

Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 186 citations spanning 11 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 1 serious — A workplace hazard that could cause death or serious physical harm exists, and the employer knew or should have known about the condition. 9 other-than-serious — The violation has a direct relationship to job safety and health but is unlikely to cause death or serious physical harm. 5 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 March 23, 1989 with the latest abatement deadline set for October 9, 1989. Of the 186 total citations, 14 (8%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.

Penalty Assessment: The cumulative penalty of $28,319.00 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.
