LINDSEY CONSTRUCTION COMPANY

According to U.S. Department of Labor enforcement records, LINDSEY CONSTRUCTION COMPANY — a new multifamily housing construction (except for-sale builders) facility located at 4300 MT. CARMEL ROAD, BENTON, AR 72015 — was the subject of a formal OSHA inspection that resulted in 12 citation(s) and cumulative proposed penalties of $22,600.00. The inspection case was opened on 2003-04-03.

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.

Industry Benchmark: The total penalty of $22,600.00 is more than 6.3× the national average of $3,609.14 for facilities in the Construction sector (NAICS 236116). This sector encompasses 532,749 inspected facilities nationwide with aggregate penalties totaling $1,922.8M.

State Context: Within AR, this facility's penalty places it at the 98th percentile among 15,726 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $2,714.64.

Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 12 citations spanning 5 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 6 serious — A workplace hazard that could cause death or serious physical harm exists, and the employer knew or should have known about the condition. 6 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 May 6, 2003 with the latest abatement deadline set for June 2, 2003. Of the 12 total citations, 4 (33%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.

Penalty Assessment: The cumulative penalty of $22,600.00 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 $1,883.33 falls within the standard penalty range.
