Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 21 citations spanning 3 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 9 serious — A workplace hazard that could cause death or serious physical harm exists, and the employer knew or should have known about the condition. 4 unclassified — A technical violation that does not fit neatly into the standard classification categories. 2 other-than-serious — The violation has a direct relationship to job safety and health but is unlikely to cause death or serious physical harm.
