Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 4 citations spanning 4 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 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. 2 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 March 20, 2006 with the latest abatement deadline set for June 13, 2006. Of the 4 total citations, 4 (100%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, indicating substantial compliance with corrective action requirements.
