State Context: Within NY, this facility's penalty places it at the 100th percentile among 140,736 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $2,208.33.

Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 47 citations spanning 12 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 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. 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.

Enforcement Timeline: Citations were issued beginning June 27, 1995 with the latest abatement deadline set for February 23, 1996. Of the 47 total citations, 13 (28%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.
