MAGONE MARINE SERVICE INC

According to U.S. Department of Labor enforcement records, MAGONE MARINE SERVICE INC — a industry sector 00 facility located at MAGONE BARGE, DUTCH HARBOR, AK 99692 — was the subject of a formal OSHA inspection that resulted in 22 citation(s) and cumulative proposed penalties of $22,055.00. The inspection case was opened on 1993-02-12.

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 AK, this facility's penalty places it at the 99th percentile among 13,118 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $1,612.78.

Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 22 citations spanning 8 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 9 serious — A workplace hazard that could cause death or serious physical harm exists, and the employer knew or should have known about the condition. 1 repeat — A substantially similar violation was found during a previous inspection and the original citation has become a final order. 5 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 May 7, 1993 with the latest abatement deadline set for January 3, 1998. Of the 22 total citations, 15 (68%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, suggesting partial progress toward required corrective actions.

Penalty Assessment: The cumulative penalty of $22,055.00 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 $1,002.50 falls within the standard penalty range.

The enforcement profile for Magone Marine Service Inc. reveals a high-risk operational environment characterized by systemic failures in specialized marine safety protocols, specifically regarding commercial diving operations and shipyard material handling. The citation pattern, centered heavily on 29 CFR 1910 Subpart T, underscores a fundamental breakdown in the technical management of underwater work. The assessment of maximum gravity ratings for violations involving diving equipment and compressed gas cylinders indicates that workers were subjected to immediate life-safety threats, including decompression sickness, equipment failure, or embolism. These were not isolated administrative lapses; rather, the $22,055 penalty—which was substantial for the early 1990s maritime sector—reflects a pervasive
