Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 8 citations spanning 5 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 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. 5 repeat — A substantially similar violation was found during a previous inspection and the original citation has become a final order.
