JUAN SAGREDO
According to U.S. Department of Labor enforcement records, JUAN SAGREDO — a masonry contractors facility located at 6001 CUMMING HWY, STE 400, SUGAR HILL, GA 30518 — was the subject of a formal OSHA inspection that resulted in 8 citation(s) and cumulative proposed penalties of $102,520.00. The inspection case was opened on 2011-04-11.
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.
BLS Injury Data: According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (2022), this industry sector has an occupational injury rate of 2.8 per 100 full-time workers — 4% above the national average of 2.7. The sector fatality rate is 9.6 per 100,000 workers.
Industry Benchmark: The total penalty of $102,520.00 is more than 28.4× the national average of $3,609.14 for facilities in the Construction sector (NAICS 238140). This sector encompasses 532,749 inspected facilities nationwide with aggregate penalties totaling $1,922.8M.
State Context: Within GA, this facility's penalty places it at the 100th percentile among 48,956 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $3,799.18.
Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 8 citations spanning 4 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.
Enforcement Timeline: Citations were issued beginning September 30, 2011 with the latest abatement deadline set for October 12, 2011. Of the 8 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 $102,520.00 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 $12,815.00 falls within the standard penalty range.
The enforcement profile for Juan Sagredo reveals a deeply concerning pattern of recidivism that elevates this case far beyond routine masonry safety oversight. The assessment of over $100,000 in penalties for just eight citations is statistically extraordinary for NAICS 238140, driven almost entirely by the "Repeat" classification of nearly every major construction standard cited. This indicates a systemic failure of the employer’s safety management system; the firm demonstrated prior knowledge of specific hazards yet failed to sustain corrective actions.
