GEINOR ERAZA IRIATO

According to U.S. Department of Labor enforcement records, GEINOR ERAZA IRIATO — a new single-family housing construction (except for-sale builders) facility located at 1507 OLIVE AVE., GULFPORT, MS 39501 — was the subject of a formal OSHA inspection that resulted in 11 citation(s) and cumulative proposed penalties of $22,821.00. The inspection case was opened on 2021-02-02.

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.

Enforcement Timeline: Citations were issued beginning April 20, 2021 with the latest abatement deadline set for May 13, 2021. Of the 11 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 $22,821.00 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 $2,074.64 falls within the standard penalty range.

The enforcement record for Geinor Eraza Iriato reveals a pervasive disregard for fundamental life-safety protocols within the residential construction sector. The citation of eleven distinct violations—all classified as Serious—indicates a systemic collapse of safety management rather than isolated lapses. The high-gravity ratings assigned to standards 1926.100(a), 1926.451, and 1926.501(b)(11) underscore the immediate threat of catastrophic injury or fatality from the "Focus Four" hazards, specifically falls and struck-by incidents. By failing to provide head protection and adequate fall arrest systems for workers on steep-roof surfaces, the employer exposed personnel to lethal risks that are standardly mitigated in this industry. The penalty total of $22,821 is significantly higher than the average for small-scale residential contractors, reflecting the cumulative severity of the hazards. The technical nature of the scaffold violations (1926.451 series), ranging from improper decking to lack of secure bracing, suggests a workforce that lacked even rudimentary training in equipment assembly. This pattern of non-compliance across multiple subparts—including electrical grounding, ladder safety, and scaffolding—demonstrates a failure to implement a comprehensive safety program. For compliance professionals, this record serves as a textbook example of an employer operating without a competent person on-site to identify and correct predictable workplace dangers.
