State Context: Within AZ, this facility's penalty places it at the 100th percentile among 28,263 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $1,378.92.

Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 16 citations spanning 9 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 2 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. 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. 2 unclassified — A technical violation that does not fit neatly into the standard classification categories. 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.

Enforcement Timeline: Citations were issued beginning April 1, 2005 with the latest abatement deadline set for April 22, 2005. Of the 16 total citations, 4 (25%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.

Penalty Assessment: The per-citation average of $20,125.00 exceeds OSHA's FY2024 statutory maximum of $16,131 for serious violations, indicating the presence of willful or repeat classifications that carry enhanced penalty authority under Section 17 of the OSH Act.
