Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 20 citations spanning 8 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 4 repeat — A substantially similar violation was found during a previous inspection and the original citation has become a final order.8 other-than-serious — The violation has a direct relationship to job safety and health but is unlikely to cause death or serious physical harm.1 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.2 serious — A workplace hazard that could cause death or serious physical harm exists, and the employer knew or should have known about the condition.
Enforcement Timeline: Citations were issued beginning November 8, 1977 with the latest abatement deadline set for March 10, 1978. Of the 20 total citations, 15 (75%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, suggesting partial progress toward required corrective actions.
Penalty Assessment: The total proposed penalty of $7,365.00 falls within OSHA's standard enforcement range and may have been adjusted through informal settlement conference procedures, penalty reduction factors, or good faith credit for demonstrated safety and health management systems.
