Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 9 citations spanning 7 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 1 willful — The employer intentionally and knowingly committed the violation, demonstrating either an intentional disregard for the requirements of the OSH Act or plain indifference to employee safety and health. 4 repeat — A substantially similar violation was found during a previous inspection and the original citation has become a final order. 1 serious — A workplace hazard that could cause death or serious physical harm exists, and the employer knew or should have known about the condition. 3 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 February 2, 1993 with the latest abatement deadline set for February 20, 1993. Of the 9 total citations, 9 (100%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, indicating substantial compliance with corrective action requirements.
