Updates to DOPL database

The database containing disciplinary actions of the Utah Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing have been updated to reflect new information from the last several months.

Three full years (2009-2011) are now available online: http://bit.ly/ffRLyk

In those three years, over 900 licensed professional have been sanctioned from over 475 different companies. Nearly 75 different professions and company types are reflected in the numbers.

DOPL licenses and regulates many profession throughout the state, including medical, trade and construction professions. The highest number of violators in the three-year period came from the construction trade, with 556 violators.

The second highest profession to be sanctioned were physicians and surgeons, who had 61 violators, followed by cosmetologists/barbers with 55 violators and massage therapists, who had 50 violators. Other highly sanctioned professions include unarmed private security officers, who had 36 violators, and dentists and hygienists, who had 35 violators.

The database is searchable by a person’s name, profession type, city or company.

NEW liquor law violation database

Liquor license violations from the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control are now available online on UtahsRight.com.

The database can be found here: http://bit.ly/x8VzRT

The database, which holds over 800 records, lists liquor law violations for the last 10 years (June 2001- June 2011), listed by establishment name. Addresses and locations are listed with establishments when available.

Establishments were fined or had their liquor licenses temporarily suspended for many different offenses, most often for serving alcohol to minors, employees not having a name badge, or allowing non-members to enter the bars (for earlier years when memberships were required to enter bars).

Only licensed establishments that received violations from the DABC are included in this database. Violations that were later dismissed are not included. If a citation is listed as still being adjudicated, but the business no longer has a liquor license, the alleged violations are listed in this database.

A look at violations at childcare facilities

In an 8-month period, childcare facilities in the Salt Lake Valley and surrounding areas were given 302 violations on inspections by Utah Department of Health.

The violations that occurred most often within the facilities centered mostly on lack of paperwork, with 65 violations of failing to report a new individuals information, and 61 offenders dinged for failing to follow all rules and regulations – most often dealing with having proper immunization records.
The third highest violation was having sharp objects, edges, or points accessible to children, with 55 violations in January through August 2011.

The Salt Lake Valley cities included in the numbers were as far south as Draper and as far north as South Weber.

The data was compiled by UtahsRight.com for a weekly series in The Salt Lake Tribune’s neighborhood section highlighting information gleaned from public databases. The purpose is not to provide analysis of the data, but rather to provide the raw information in public databases so the public can analyze the data for their own purposes.
The information was received from a public records request to the Utah Department of Health’s Child Care Licensing.

Though Salt Lake City had the highest number of violations in the Salt Lake Valley area, with 99 violations, they also had the highest number of facilities, with 113 operating in the city.

Kearns and South Weber had the highest average number of violations per facility, both with an average of 1.3 violations. South Weber had four violations in their three licensed facilities, while Kearns had 16 violations in the 12 operating childcare facilities.

Several cities had zero violations in the examined time frame, including South Salt Lake, Centerville, Sunset and Syracuse.
