The inspection case was opened on 1997-05-14.

Federal investigators determined that one or more violations at this facility were committed willfully — meaning the employer either knowingly failed to comply with OSHA standards or acted with plain indifference to employee safety. Willful violations carry the highest penalty multipliers under the OSH Act.

State Context: Within MD, this facility's penalty places it at the 100th percentile among 48,269 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $1,448.20.

Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 20 citations spanning 9 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 1 willful — The employer intentionally and knowingly committed the violation, demonstrating either an intentional disregard for the requirements of the OSH Act or plain indifference to employee safety and health. 11 repeat — A substantially similar violation was found during a previous inspection and the original citation has become a final order. 3 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 August 12, 1997 with the latest abatement deadline set for September 17, 1997. Of the 20 total citations, 15 (75%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, suggesting partial progress toward required corrective actions.

Penalty Assessment: The cumulative penalty of $25,600.00 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 $1,280.00 falls within the standard penalty range.
