EAGLE UNITED TRUCK WASH LLC

According to U.S. Department of Labor enforcement records, EAGLE UNITED TRUCK WASH LLC — a car washes facility located at 1465 RIDGE ROAD I-80, EXIT 215, S.R. 254, MILTON, PA 17847 — was the subject of a formal OSHA inspection that resulted in 23 citation(s) and cumulative proposed penalties of $23,770.00. The inspection case was opened on 2018-03-09.

The volume of citations issued during this inspection suggests systematic compliance deficiencies rather than isolated incidents. Facilities with 10 or more citations typically face comprehensive abatement requirements and may be subject to follow-up inspections.

BLS Injury Data: According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (2022), this industry sector has an occupational injury rate of 2.0 per 100 full-time workers — near the national average of 2.7. The sector fatality rate is 3.4 per 100,000 workers.

Industry Benchmark: The total penalty of $23,770.00 is more than 8.3× the national average of $2,870.27 for facilities in the Other Services sector (NAICS 811192). This sector encompasses 29,798 inspected facilities nationwide with aggregate penalties totaling $85.5M.

State Context: Within PA, this facility's penalty places it at the 98th percentile among 84,409 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $3,015.83.

Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 23 citations spanning 8 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 10 serious — A workplace hazard that could cause death or serious physical harm exists, and the employer knew or should have known about the condition. 5 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 March 23, 2018 with the latest abatement deadline set for April 12, 2018. Of the 23 total citations, 0 (0%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.

Penalty Assessment: The cumulative penalty of $23,770.00 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 $1,033.48 falls within the standard penalty range.

The 2018 enforcement action against Eagle United Truck Wash LLC reveals a pervasive breakdown in safety management systems, characterized by a staggering 23 citations that span both general industry and construction standards. The concentration of violations under 1926.451 and 1926.452 indicates that the facility was likely utilizing mobile or improvised scaffolding systems for vehicle cleaning that failed to meet basic structural and fall protection requirements. For workers, this created a high-probability risk of catastrophic falls or platform collapses, exacerbated by a documented failure to provide necessary safety training (1926.454). The penalty assessment of $23,770 is significantly higher than the industry average for NAICS 811192, signaling that OSHA inspectors identified more than mere technical oversights. The data points toward a systemic failure in Hazard Assessment (1910.132) and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) protocols. When a facility fails to verify that a hazard assessment was performed while simultaneously neglecting eye and face protection (1910.133), it suggests a management culture that prioritizes throughput over foundational life-safety protocols. Furthermore, the inclusion of electrical grounding violations (1910.303) alongside fall hazards creates a compounded risk environment where employees were potentially exposed to simultaneous electrocution and gravity-based hazards. This record reflects a reactive safety posture where fundamental protective barriers were largely absent.
