Enforcement Analysis

According to U.S. Department of Labor enforcement records, RCI RILEY CONSTRUCTION INC. — a industry sector 00 facility located at 1201 NORTH FORD MILL ROAD, MORRISVILLE, PA 19067 — was the subject of a formal OSHA inspection that resulted in 11 citation(s) and cumulative proposed penalties of $162,000.00. The inspection case was opened on 1993-09-24.

This facility represents one of the most severe enforcement actions in the OSHA SVEP database. Willful violations combined with penalties exceeding $100,000 indicate a pattern of deliberate non-compliance that poses an imminent danger to workers.

Industry Benchmark: The total penalty of $162,000.00 is more than 135.5× 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 PA, this facility's penalty places it at the 100th percentile among 84,409 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $3,015.83.

Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 11 citations spanning 9 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. 3 unclassified — A technical violation that does not fit neatly into the standard classification categories. 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. 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. 1 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 March 16, 1994 with the latest abatement deadline set for April 18, 1994. Of the 11 total citations, 11 (100%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, indicating substantial compliance with corrective action requirements.

Penalty Assessment: The cumulative penalty of $162,000.00 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 $14,727.27 falls within the standard penalty range.
