State Context: Within MI, this facility's penalty places it at the 99th percentile among 106,495 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $1,470.95.

Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 49 citations spanning 15 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 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. 11 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 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 November 27, 1990 with the latest abatement deadline set for November 23, 1991. Of the 49 total citations, 15 (31%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.
