The inspection case was opened on 2018-10-08.
Cumulative penalties significantly exceed the national median for OSHA enforcement actions. The penalty amount suggests multiple high-gravity citations, indicating conditions that presented a substantial probability of death or serious physical harm to employees.
Industry Benchmark: The total penalty of $51,415.00 is more than 14.4× the national average of $3,576.90 for facilities in the Arts sector (NAICS 711310). This sector encompasses 7,371 inspected facilities nationwide with aggregate penalties totaling $26.4M.
State Context: Within CA, this facility's penalty places it at the 100th percentile among 184,062 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $3,010.44.
Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 16 citations spanning 2 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 10 other-than-serious — The violation has a direct relationship to job safety and health but is unlikely to cause death or serious physical harm. 4 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.
Enforcement Timeline: Citations were issued beginning July 21, 2014 with the latest abatement deadline set for October 4, 2018. Of the 16 total citations, 5 (31%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.
Penalty Assessment: The cumulative penalty of $51,415.00 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 $3,213.44 falls within the standard penalty range.
The enforcement record for AEG Management Oakland, LLC reveals a fragmented safety culture characterized by systemic failures in foundational compliance programs, specifically regarding heat illness prevention and Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) administration. The gravity of the $51,415 assessment—notably high for the facility management sector—is driven by multiple "Serious" classifications and a "Repeat" violation of fall protection standards (1670(b)(19)). This repetition is a critical legal indicator that the employer was previously warned of specific fall hazards but failed to implement sustainable corrective actions, significantly increasing their liability profile. The heavy concentration of violations under Title 8 CCR §3395 and §3203 suggests that the facility’s administrative controls were largely non-functional. The $19,125 penalty for head protection (3381(a)) and the $5,000 fine for failing to report a serious injury (342(a)) indicate a reactive rather than proactive safety posture. For workers, these gaps translated into tangible risks of heat exhaustion and traumatic impact injuries that went unmitigated by
