The inspection case was opened on 1994-05-18.

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.

State Context: Within NY, this facility's penalty places it at the 99th percentile among 140,736 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $2,208.33.

Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 83 citations spanning 8 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 8 serious — A workplace hazard that could cause death or serious physical harm exists, and the employer knew or should have known about the condition. 7 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 October 12, 1994 with the latest abatement deadline set for June 18, 1996. Of the 83 total citations, 14 (17%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.

Penalty Assessment: The cumulative penalty of $38,250.00 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 $460.84 falls within the standard penalty range.

The inspection of Long Island Paint Company revealed a pervasive and systemic collapse of safety management systems, evidenced by the staggering volume of 83 citations. The enforcement record highlights a dual-threat environment where workers faced both acute catastrophic risks and chronic health hazards. The concentration of violations under the Lead Standard (1910.1025)—specifically regarding medical surveillance, hygiene, and training—indicates that the employer failed to implement the most fundamental industrial hygiene
