VISTAWALL ARCHITECTURAL PRODUCTS

According to U.S. Department of Labor enforcement records, VISTAWALL ARCHITECTURAL PRODUCTS — a industry sector 00 facility located at 15 WELLINGTON ROAD NORTH, LINCOLN, RI 02865 — was the subject of a formal OSHA inspection that resulted in 24 citation(s) and cumulative proposed penalties of $9,720.00. The inspection case was opened on 1990-02-26.

Federal investigators determined that one or more violations at this facility were committed willfully — meaning the employer either knowingly failed to comply with OSHA standards or acted with plain indifference to employee safety. Willful violations carry the highest penalty multipliers under the OSH Act.

State Context: Within RI, this facility's penalty places it at the 95th percentile among 12,847 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $2,361.85.

Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 24 citations spanning 11 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 1 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. 1 serious — A workplace hazard that could cause death or serious physical harm exists, and the employer knew or should have known about the condition. 13 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 December 31, 1986 with the latest abatement deadline set for September 11, 1989. Of the 24 total citations, 15 (63%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, suggesting partial progress toward required corrective actions.

Penalty Assessment: The total proposed penalty of $9,720.00 falls within OSHA's standard enforcement range and may have been adjusted through informal settlement conference procedures, penalty reduction factors, or good faith credit for demonstrated safety and health management systems.
