The inspection case was opened on 1991-03-26.

Industry Benchmark: The total penalty of $192,900.00 is more than 161.3× the national average of $1,195.75 for facilities in the Other sector (NAICS 000000). This sector encompasses 1,316,687 inspected facilities nationwide with aggregate penalties totaling $1,574.4M.

State Context: Within IN, this facility's penalty places it at the 100th percentile among 60,580 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $1,266.78.

Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 28 citations spanning 3 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 9 willful — The employer intentionally and knowingly committed the violation, demonstrating either an intentional disregard for the requirements of the OSH Act or plain indifference to employee safety and health. 5 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 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 August 2, 1991 with the latest abatement deadline set for September 1, 1991. Of the 28 total citations, 15 (54%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, suggesting partial progress toward required corrective actions.

Penalty Assessment: The cumulative penalty of $192,900.00 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 $6,889.29 falls within the standard penalty range.
