State Context: Within CT, this facility's penalty places it at the 86th percentile among 33,669 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $3,368.63.

Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 39 citations spanning 7 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. 11 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 December 20, 1991 with the latest abatement deadline set for November 29, 1993. Of the 39 total citations, 15 (38%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.
