ISP TECHNOLOGIES, INC.

According to U.S. Department of Labor enforcement records, ISP TECHNOLOGIES, INC. — a industry sector 00 facility located at 4501 ATTWATER AVENUE, TEXAS CITY, TX 77592 — was the subject of a formal OSHA inspection that resulted in 34 citation(s) and cumulative proposed penalties of $105,400.00. The inspection case was opened on 1998-07-24.

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.

State Context: Within TX, this facility's penalty places it at the 100th percentile among 119,485 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $3,783.80.

Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 34 citations spanning 5 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 14 serious — A workplace hazard that could cause death or serious physical harm exists, and the employer knew or should have known about the condition. 1 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 January 15, 1999 with the latest abatement deadline set for June 14, 2000. Of the 34 total citations, 14 (41%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.

Penalty Assessment: The cumulative penalty of $105,400.00 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 $3,100.00 falls within the standard penalty range.

The enforcement profile for ISP Technologies’ Texas City facility reveals a profound systemic breakdown in Process Safety Management (PSM) protocols, evidenced by the high concentration of citations under 29 CFR 1910
