Mine safety (MSHA)
Company-level in UT — for MARKS BACKHOE SERVICE, not this location alone

OSHA citations typically appear 3–8 months after the inspection, so very recent enforcement actions may not yet be reflected. Profiles may be incomplete if the establishment operates under multiple legal names or files under variations our entity-matching rules don’t yet cover.
