BLS Injury Data: According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (2022), this industry sector has an occupational injury rate of 2.8 per 100 full-time workers — 4% above the national average of 2.7. The sector fatality rate is 9.6 per 100,000 workers.

Industry Benchmark: The total penalty of $18,000.00 is more than 5.0× the national average of $3,609.14 for facilities in the Construction sector (NAICS 238130). This sector encompasses 532,749 inspected facilities nationwide with aggregate penalties totaling $1,922.8M.

State Context: Within OR, this facility's penalty places it at the 100th percentile among 104,887 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $770.71.

Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 3 citations spanning 1 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 1 serious — A workplace hazard that could cause death or serious physical harm exists, and the employer knew or should have known about the condition. 1 repeat — A substantially similar violation was found during a previous inspection and the original citation has become a final order. 1 other-than-serious — The violation has a direct relationship to job safety and health but is unlikely to cause death or serious physical harm.

Enforcement Timeline: Citations were issued beginning January 13, 2026 with the latest abatement deadline set for February 6, 2026. Of the 3 total citations, 0 (0%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.

Penalty Assessment: The cumulative penalty of $18,000.00 reflects OSHA's gravity-based penalty calculation methodology, which considers the severity of potential injury, the probability of occurrence, the employer's size, good faith, and violation history. The per-citation average of $6,000.00 falls within the standard penalty range.

Terrero Construction LLC’s enforcement profile reveals a high-risk operational environment characterized by a recurring failure to implement fundamental fall protection measures. The citation under 1926.502(d)(6)(i) is particularly significant; as a "Repeat" violation carrying a $16,000 penalty, it demonstrates that management previously received notice of these specific hazards yet failed to institutionalize corrective actions. In practical terms, the combination of improper snaphook connections and inadequate guardrail or personal fall arrest systems indicates that workers were exposed to life-threatening elevation risks without reliable secondary safety nets. The penalty severity is substantially higher than the industry average for small-scale residential framing (NAICS 238130), reflecting Oregon OSHA’s aggressive stance on recidivism. This pattern suggests a systemic breakdown in safety leadership rather than an isolated lapse by a single crew. The transition from Serious to Repeat classifications signals that the employer’s safety program lacks the necessary oversight to ensure consistent compliance across different project sites. For legal and insurance purposes, this record establishes a clear "paper trail" of negligence regarding fall hazards, which are the leading cause of fatalities in construction. The absence of a penalty for the administrative reporting violation (OAR 437-001-0765) does not diminish the gravity of the physical hazards; rather, it highlights a firm that is struggling with both the physical execution of safety protocols and the underlying regulatory documentation required to maintain a compliant workplace.
