The inspection case was opened on 2000-12-13.

Cumulative penalties significantly exceed the national median for OSHA enforcement actions. The penalty amount suggests multiple high-gravity citations, indicating conditions that presented a substantial probability of death or serious physical harm to employees.

Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 27 citations spanning 11 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 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. 14 other-than-serious — The violation has a direct relationship to job safety and health but is unlikely to cause death or serious physical harm.

The per-citation average of $1,972.22 falls within the standard penalty range.
