According to U.S. Department of Labor enforcement records, PROJECT MGMT. SERVICES & IND'L PAYROLL SERVICES — a information facility located at 2701 E. 114TH STREET, CHICAGO, IL 60617 — was the subject of a formal OSHA inspection that resulted in 21 citation(s) and cumulative proposed penalties of $94,500.00. The inspection case was opened on 2005-11-22.
Federal investigators determined that one or more violations at this facility were committed willfully — meaning the employer either knowingly failed to comply with OSHA standards or acted with plain indifference to employee safety. Willful violations carry the highest penalty multipliers under the OSH Act.
Industry Benchmark: The total penalty of $94,500.00 is more than 29.5× the national average of $3,202.96 for facilities in the Information sector (NAICS 512210). This sector encompasses 4,045 inspected facilities nationwide with aggregate penalties totaling $13.0M.
State Context: Within IL, this facility's penalty places it at the 100th percentile among 88,899 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $3,496.90.
Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 21 citations spanning 2 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 11 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 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. 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 May 12, 2006 with the latest abatement deadline set for June 29, 2006. Of the 21 total citations, 5 (24%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.
Penalty Assessment: The cumulative penalty of $94,500.00 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 $4,500.00 falls within the standard penalty range.
