The inspection case was opened on 1992-04-14.

The citation breakdown includes: 4 other-than-serious — The violation has a direct relationship to job safety and health but is unlikely to cause death or serious physical harm. 11 serious — A workplace hazard that could cause death or serious physical harm exists, and the employer knew or should have known about the condition.

Enforcement Timeline: Citations were issued beginning April 20, 1992 with the latest abatement deadline set for May 27, 1992. Of the 40 total citations, 15 (38%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.
