NEW CTR STAMPING INC
According to U.S. Department of Labor enforcement records, NEW CTR STAMPING INC — a industry sector 00 facility located at 950 E MILWAUKEE, DETROIT, MI 48211 — was the subject of a formal OSHA inspection that resulted in 205 citation(s) and cumulative proposed penalties of $124,844.00. The inspection case was opened on 1995-12-15.
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.
Industry Benchmark: The total penalty of $124,844.00 is more than 104.4× the national average of $1,195.75 for facilities in the Other sector (NAICS 000000). This sector encompasses 1,316,687 inspected facilities nationwide with aggregate penalties totaling $1,574.4M.
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 205 citations spanning 10 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 14 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 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 July 21, 1997 with the latest abatement deadline set for January 7, 2002. Of the 205 total citations, 15 (7%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.
Penalty Assessment: The cumulative penalty of $124,844.00 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 $609.00 falls within the standard penalty range.
The sheer volume of 205 citations issued during this inspection represents a catastrophic systemic failure of safety management systems rather than a series of isolated oversights. The enforcement record at New CTR Stamping Inc. reveals a pervasive disregard for fundamental life-safety protocols, particularly concerning hazardous energy control (Lockout/Tagout) and mechanical power press guarding. For workers in a metal stamping environment, these specific violations—notably 1910.147 and related MIOSHA standards—translate directly to high-probability risks of amputations, crushing injuries, and fatalities during routine maintenance and operation. The heavy concentration of "Serious" designations across such a massive citation list indicates that the employer failed to address known industry hazards that were both foreseeable and preventable
