BLS Injury Data: According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (2022), this industry sector has an occupational injury rate of 5.2 per 100 full-time workers — 93% above the national average of 2.7. The sector fatality rate is 20.1 per 100,000 workers.

Industry Benchmark: The total penalty of $17,860.00 is more than 6.1× the national average of $2,920.96 for facilities in the Agriculture sector (NAICS 111422). This sector encompasses 23,483 inspected facilities nationwide with aggregate penalties totaling $68.6M.

State Context: Within UT, this facility's penalty places it at the 99th percentile among 21,375 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $1,557.94.

Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 14 citations spanning 7 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 13 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 March 5, 2024 with the latest abatement deadline set for January 7, 2026. Of the 14 total citations, 0 (0%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.

Penalty Assessment: The cumulative penalty of $17,860.00 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 $1,275.71 falls within the standard penalty range.

The enforcement profile for Pineae Greenhouses, Inc. revealed a pervasive breakdown in fundamental safety management systems, characterized by high-gravity violations across three critical risk categories: fall protection, hazardous energy control (LOTO), and powered industrial truck (PIT) operations. The presence of multiple citations under 29 CFR 1926 subparts suggests that the facility engaged in structural maintenance or construction activities without implementing the rigorous fall arrest and ladder safety protocols required for work at elevation. For employees, this gap translated to a high probability of catastrophic falls, exacerbated by a documented failure to provide necessary safety training. The assessment of penalties totaling $17,860.00—specifically the $5,600 assessments for Lockout/Tagout and PIT violations—reflects a significant departure from industry norms for agricultural operations
