Accommodation and Food Services in Alabama

In the federal enforcement record, the hazard profile for accommodation and food services reflects the specific work being performed, with citations clustering in standards that match the everyday operational risks of the sector.

Of the 14 citations in this slice, 14 (100%) are classified as serious — well above the federal average. A high serious-violation share is the clearest signal that the citation count reflects substantive hazard exposure rather than paperwork or recordkeeping issues.

The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) enforces more than 200 specific standards covering everything from fall protection to respiratory exposure. Industry-level injury benchmarks come from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses, which publishes annual incidence rates by NAICS code.

Alabama is a federal OSHA state, meaning inspections are conducted by federal compliance officers from the U.S. Department of Labor. Federal OSHA enforcement priorities — currently emphasizing fall protection, heat illness, and warehouse hazards — apply directly to accommodation and food services workplaces in this state.

Total final penalties across these companies reach $168K, averaging $14K per cited employer. That mid-range figure is consistent with a mix of settled, contested, and paid citations rather than any single catastrophic event.

Penalties on this page are final amounts after settlement, not the proposed amounts initially issued in the citation. OSHA regional offices have discretion to settle citations through informal conferences, and many cited employers negotiate substantial reductions in exchange for verifiable abatement plans.

We aggregate citations at the establishment level using the recorded site-state field, then roll those up to the parent company. Industry classification follows the NAICS code recorded by OSHA at the time of inspection.

The Workplace Safety Score shown on linked company pages applies four weighted factors: violation rate versus industry, share of serious-or-willful citations, repeat-citation ratio, and average penalty per inspection. Read the full methodology for the exact formula and edge cases.
