MACDONALDS INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS INC

According to U.S. Department of Labor enforcement records, MACDONALDS INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS INC — a industry sector 00 facility located at 850 PANNELL ST NW, GRAND RAPIDS, MI 49504 — was the subject of a formal OSHA inspection that resulted in 110 citation(s) and cumulative proposed penalties of $56,775.00. The inspection case was opened on 1994-01-03.

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 MI, this facility's penalty places it at the 100th percentile among 106,495 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $1,470.95.

Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 110 citations spanning 14 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 13 serious — A workplace hazard that could cause death or serious physical harm exists, and the employer knew or should have known about the condition. 2 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 April 18, 1991 with the latest abatement deadline set for April 20, 1994. Of the 110 total citations, 15 (14%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.

Penalty Assessment: The cumulative penalty of $56,775.00 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 $516.14 falls within the standard penalty range.
