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 18 citations spanning 7 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 8 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. 6 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 October 7, 1997 with the latest abatement deadline set for October 29, 1997. Of the 18 total citations, 12 (67%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, suggesting partial progress toward required corrective actions.

Penalty Assessment: The cumulative penalty of $84,800.00 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 $4,711.11 falls within the standard penalty range.
