SEATRAIN SHIPBUILDING CORP

According to U.S. Department of Labor enforcement records, SEATRAIN SHIPBUILDING CORP — a industry sector 00 facility located at BROOKLYN NAVY YARD, New York -Richmond, NY 11205 — was the subject of a formal OSHA inspection that resulted in 148 citation(s) and cumulative proposed penalties of $67,260.00. The inspection case was opened on 1975-12-09.

Cumulative penalties significantly exceed the national median for OSHA enforcement actions. The penalty amount suggests multiple high-gravity citations, indicating conditions that presented a substantial probability of death or serious physical harm to employees.

State Context: Within NY, this facility's penalty places it at the 100th percentile among 140,736 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $2,208.33.

Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 148 citations spanning 13 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 1 serious — A workplace hazard that could cause death or serious physical harm exists, and the employer knew or should have known about the condition. 2 repeat — A substantially similar violation was found during a previous inspection and the original citation has become a final order. 12 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 November 17, 1977 with the latest abatement deadline set for May 8, 1979. Of the 148 total citations, 4 (3%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.

Penalty Assessment: The cumulative penalty of $67,260.00 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 $454.46 falls within the standard penalty range.
