FRU-CON CONSTRUCITON

According to U.S. Department of Labor enforcement records, FRU-CON CONSTRUCITON — a industry sector 00 facility located at HIGHWAY 17, GRANT TOWN, WV 26574 — was the subject of a formal OSHA inspection that resulted in 35 citation(s) and cumulative proposed penalties of $89,500.00. The inspection case was opened on 1991-12-09.

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.

Industry Benchmark: The total penalty of $89,500.00 is more than 74.8× the national average of $1,195.75 for facilities in the Other sector (NAICS 000000). This sector encompasses 1,316,687 inspected facilities nationwide with aggregate penalties totaling $1,574.4M.

State Context: Within WV, this facility's penalty places it at the 100th percentile among 14,536 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $3,060.20.

Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 35 citations spanning 11 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 7 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. 3 repeat — A substantially similar violation was found during a previous inspection and the original citation has become a final order.

Enforcement Timeline: Citations were issued beginning March 20, 1992 with the latest abatement deadline set for March 27, 1992. Of the 35 total citations, 15 (43%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.

Penalty Assessment: The cumulative penalty of $89,500.00 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 $2,557.14 falls within the standard penalty range.
