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 40 citations spanning 11 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 12 serious — A workplace hazard that could cause death or serious physical harm exists, and the employer knew or should have known about the condition. 3 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 October 12, 1993 with the latest abatement deadline set for December 30, 1994. Of the 40 total citations, 15 (38%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.

The per-citation average of $2,187.75 falls within the standard penalty range.
