The citation breakdown includes: 5 other-than-serious — The violation has a direct relationship to job safety and health but is unlikely to cause death or serious physical harm. 10 serious — A workplace hazard that could cause death or serious physical harm exists, and the employer knew or should have known about the condition.

Enforcement Timeline: Citations were issued beginning June 17, 1999 with the latest abatement deadline set for September 21, 1999. Of the 20 total citations, 9 (45%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.
