State Context: Within GA, this facility's penalty places it at the 100th percentile among 48,956 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $3,799.18.

Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 31 citations spanning 3 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 1 other-than-serious — The violation has a direct relationship to job safety and health but is unlikely to cause death or serious physical harm. 2 serious — A workplace hazard that could cause death or serious physical harm exists, and the employer knew or should have known about the condition. 12 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.

Enforcement Timeline: Citations were issued beginning September 22, 1993 with the latest abatement deadline set for October 4, 1993. Of the 31 total citations, 15 (48%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.
