U.S. FOREST SERVICE, SUPERVISOR'S OFFICE

According to U.S. Department of Labor enforcement records, U.S. FOREST SERVICE, SUPERVISOR'S OFFICE — a support activities for forestry facility located at 10600 NE 51ST CIRCLE, VANCOUVER, WA 98682 — was the subject of a formal OSHA inspection that resulted in 25 citation(s) and cumulative proposed penalties of $0.00. The inspection case was opened on 2003-02-20.

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 WA, this facility's penalty places it at the 38th percentile among 126,183 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $1,683.96.

Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 25 citations spanning 11 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 4 repeat — A substantially similar violation was found during a previous inspection and the original citation has become a final order. 6 serious — A workplace hazard that could cause death or serious physical harm exists, and the employer knew or should have known about the condition. 5 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 May 8, 2002 with the latest abatement deadline set for April 7, 2003. Of the 25 total citations, 15 (60%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, suggesting partial progress toward required corrective actions.

Penalty Assessment: The total proposed penalty of $0.00 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.
