Enforcement Analysis

According to U.S. Department of Labor enforcement records, R.W. CONSTRUCTION, INC. — a industry sector 00 facility located at 1360 INDIAN TRAIL ROAD, NORCROSS, GA 30093 — was the subject of a formal OSHA inspection that resulted in 10 citation(s) and cumulative proposed penalties of $53,000.00. The inspection case was opened on 1996-03-26.

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.

State Context: Within GA, this facility's penalty places it at the 99th percentile among 48,956 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $3,799.18.

Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 10 citations spanning 4 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 5 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 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. 4 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 April 2, 1996 with the latest abatement deadline set for July 17, 1997. Of the 10 total citations, 1 (10%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.

Penalty Assessment: The cumulative penalty of $53,000.00 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 $5,300.00 falls within the standard penalty range.
