VICKERS, INC.

According to U.S. Department of Labor enforcement records, VICKERS, INC. — a industry sector 00 facility located at 6600 NORTH 72ND STREET, OMAHA, NE 68122 — was the subject of a formal OSHA inspection that resulted in 63 citation(s) and cumulative proposed penalties of $54,665.00. The inspection case was opened on 1990-10-19.

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 NE, this facility's penalty places it at the 99th percentile among 12,745 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $4,129.57.

Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 63 citations spanning 11 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 9 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 repeat — A substantially similar violation was found during a previous inspection and the original citation has become a final order. 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 March 10, 1992 with the latest abatement deadline set for February 14, 1994. Of the 63 total citations, 15 (24%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.

Penalty Assessment: The cumulative penalty of $54,665.00 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 $867.70 falls within the standard penalty range.
