According to U.S. Department of Labor enforcement records, TURMAN CONSTRUCTION COMPANY — a industry sector 00 facility located at RT. 5, ELIZABETH, WV 26143 — was the subject of a formal OSHA inspection that resulted in 31 citation(s) and cumulative proposed penalties of $126,550.00. The inspection case was opened on 1998-09-08.

This facility represents one of the most severe enforcement actions in the OSHA SVEP database. Willful violations combined with penalties exceeding $100,000 indicate a pattern of deliberate non-compliance that poses an imminent danger to workers.

State Context: Within WV, this facility's penalty places it at the 100th percentile among 14,536 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $3,060.20.

Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 31 citations spanning 10 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 4 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 repeat — A substantially similar violation was found during a previous inspection and the original citation has become a final order. 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. 4 unclassified — A technical violation that does not fit neatly into the standard classification categories. 2 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.

Enforcement Timeline: Citations were issued beginning March 4, 1999 with the latest abatement deadline set for March 16, 1999. Of the 31 total citations, 6 (19%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.

Penalty Assessment: The cumulative penalty of $126,550.00 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 $4,082.26 falls within the standard penalty range.
