J.C. Watson (“Watson”) owns and operates a packing facility in Parma, Idaho (“Parma facility”), where agricultural products are readied for market. On July 31, 2004, Luis Ramirez, a Watson employee, injured his arm in an accident while cleaning the area underneath a moving conveyor belt at the Parma facility. Following the accident, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) conducted two inspections of the Parma facility. As a result of these inspections, OSHA issued Watson four citations alleging violations of the Occupational Safety and Health Act, 29 U.S.C. §§ 651-678 (“the Act”), for Watson’s failure to comply with various general industry standards codified at 29 C.F.R. part 1910, including provisions of the lockout/tagout (“LOTO”) standard. A total penalty of $18,000 was proposed.
