THE DOUGLAS COMPANY

According to U.S. Department of Labor enforcement records, THE DOUGLAS COMPANY — a industry sector 00 facility located at COMMONS AT BRIARGATE, 2820 LENNOX PT., COLORADO SPRINGS, CO 80920 — was the subject of a formal OSHA inspection that resulted in 43 citation(s) and cumulative proposed penalties of $59,400.00. The inspection case was opened on 1995-07-28.

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 CO, this facility's penalty places it at the 100th percentile among 32,935 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $3,271.13.

Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 43 citations spanning 9 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 11 serious — A workplace hazard that could cause death or serious physical harm exists, and the employer knew or should have known about the condition. 4 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 7, 1995 with the latest abatement deadline set for July 31, 1996. Of the 43 total citations, 4 (9%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.

Penalty Assessment: The cumulative penalty of $59,400.00 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 $1,381.40 falls within the standard penalty range.

The enforcement record for The Douglas Company at the Commons at Briargate project reveals a profound systemic breakdown in fundamental construction safety management, particularly regarding high-risk electrical and access
