VENTURE TAPE CORPORATION

According to U.S. Department of Labor enforcement records, VENTURE TAPE CORPORATION — a industry sector 00 facility located at 30 COMMERCE ROAD, ROCKLAND, MA 02370 — was the subject of a formal OSHA inspection that resulted in 59 citation(s) and cumulative proposed penalties of $17,560.00. The inspection case was opened on 2002-02-11.

The volume of citations issued during this inspection suggests systematic compliance deficiencies rather than isolated incidents. Facilities with 10 or more citations typically face comprehensive abatement requirements and may be subject to follow-up inspections.

State Context: Within MA, this facility's penalty places it at the 98th percentile among 60,671 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $2,824.83.

Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 59 citations spanning 10 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 July 7, 1994 with the latest abatement deadline set for August 23, 1994. Of the 59 total citations, 15 (25%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.

Penalty Assessment: The cumulative penalty of $17,560.00 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 $297.63 falls within the standard penalty range.

The enforcement record for Venture Tape Corporation reveals a pervasive breakdown in fundamental safety management systems, evidenced by the staggering volume of 59 citations resulting from a single inspection. The citation pattern identifies a high-risk environment characterized by systemic failures in Subpart O (Machinery and Machine Guarding) and Subpart S (Electrical). Specifically, the recurrence of violations under 1910.
