What happened in this inspection
Cal/OSHA opened an accident inspection of Safeway Richmond Bread Plant at 905 South 34th Street, Richmond (Contra Costa County) on Dec 3, 2007. It was a partial inspection focused on safety hazards. The record lists 12,000 employees, a figure the employer reports to the inspector and one that can cover more than the site inspected, with union representation. Inspectors issued 4 citations (1 serious) and proposed $21,000 in penalties; after appeal or settlement the current total is $1,575. 4 citations were contested before the Appeals Board. The case closed on Jan 30, 2009. The employer has 6 other inspections on its California record.

About this data: Records come from the U.S. Department of Labor's OSHA enforcement datasets (inspection, violation, accident and accident injury tables), which carry Cal/OSHA's state-plan inspections alongside federal ones. We load every inspection of a California worksite opened since January 1, 2000 and refresh it weekly. Employer names, addresses and industry codes are as the inspecting office recorded them; similar names are grouped where they clearly refer to the same employer. A citation can be reduced, vacated or withdrawn on appeal, and an inspection can stay open for months, so a record can change. Penalties shown as "current" reflect the latest status in the federal file. This page is public information about the employer's regulatory record, not legal advice and not a statement that any person was harmed or any law broken beyond what the record states.
