The inspection case was opened on 1993-11-23.

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 62 citations spanning 3 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 13 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 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 March 8, 1994 with the latest abatement deadline set for September 30, 1994. Of the 62 total citations, 15 (24%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.

Penalty Assessment: The cumulative penalty of $56,615.00 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 $913.15 falls within the standard penalty range.

The 1993 enforcement action against Transportation Industries Inc. represents a catastrophic systemic breakdown in occupational health management, specifically regarding asbestos exposure (29 CFR 1910.1001). The sheer volume of citations—62 in total—coupled with a penalty exceeding $56,000
