Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 22 citations spanning 5 distinct OSHA regulatory standards.

Enforcement Timeline: Citations were issued beginning April 11, 2002 with the latest abatement deadline set for January 3, 2003. Of the 22 total citations, 7 (32%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.

Penalty Assessment: The cumulative penalty of $33,375.00 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.
