STATE OF OREGON FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL & TRAINING CTR

According to U.S. Department of Labor enforcement records, STATE OF OREGON FAIRVIEW HOSPITAL & TRAINING CTR — a industry sector 00 facility located at 2250 STRONG RD SE, SALEM, OR 97310 — was the subject of a formal OSHA inspection that resulted in 128 citation(s) and cumulative proposed penalties of $20,695.00. The inspection case was opened on 1997-10-14.

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 OR, this facility's penalty places it at the 100th percentile among 104,887 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $770.71.

Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 128 citations spanning 12 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 11 other-than-serious — The violation has a direct relationship to job safety and health but is unlikely to cause death or serious physical harm. 2 repeat — A substantially similar violation was found during a previous inspection and the original citation has become a final order. 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.

Enforcement Timeline: Citations were issued beginning March 6, 1990 with the latest abatement deadline set for December 31, 1991. Of the 128 total citations, 15 (12%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.

Penalty Assessment: The cumulative penalty of $20,695.00 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 $161.68 falls within the standard penalty range.
