The enforcement record for Siny Corp. reveals a systemic failure to implement fundamental "Big Three" safety programs: machine guarding, lockout/tagout (LOTO), and hazard communication. The concentration of violations under 1910.212 and 1910.219 underscores a pervasive culture of non-compliance regarding mechanical motion hazards. In practical terms, workers were exposed to high-gravity "point of operation" risks, where the absence of physical barriers or electronic interlocks created a high probability of crushed limbs or digital amputations. This physical risk was exacerbated by a breakdown in the facility’s energy control program (1910.147); the failure to provide adequate training (C07) and perform periodic inspections (C06) meant that even when machines were
