VVV CONSTRUCTION
According to U.S. Department of Labor enforcement records, VVV CONSTRUCTION — a new single-family housing construction (except for-sale builders) facility located at 9943 PROVO AVE.,, TUJUNGA, CA 91042 — was the subject of a formal OSHA inspection that resulted in 7 citation(s) and cumulative proposed penalties of $20,400.00. The inspection case was opened on 2025-09-25.
DOL records document workplace safety violations warranting formal citation under the OSH Act. While classified at the standard enforcement level, all OSHA citations require corrective action and may indicate areas where workplace safety programs should be strengthened.
BLS Injury Data: According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (2022), this industry sector has an occupational injury rate of 2.8 per 100 full-time workers — 4% above the national average of 2.7. The sector fatality rate is 9.6 per 100,000 workers.
Industry Benchmark: The total penalty of $20,400.00 is more than 5.7× the national average of $3,609.14 for facilities in the Construction sector (NAICS 236115). This sector encompasses 532,749 inspected facilities nationwide with aggregate penalties totaling $1,922.8M.
State Context: Within CA, this facility's penalty places it at the 98th percentile among 184,062 inspected facilities. The statewide average penalty is $3,010.44.
Citation Analysis: The inspection produced 7 citations spanning 1 distinct OSHA regulatory standards. The citation breakdown includes: 6 other-than-serious — The violation has a direct relationship to job safety and health but is unlikely to cause death or serious physical harm. 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.
Enforcement Timeline: Citations were issued beginning March 10, 2026 with the latest abatement deadline set for April 27, 2026. Of the 7 total citations, 0 (0%) have been marked as abated in DOL records, which may indicate ongoing compliance gaps requiring further regulatory attention.
Penalty Assessment: The cumulative penalty of $20,400.00 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 $2,914.29 falls within the standard penalty range.
The enforcement record for VVV Construction reveals a deeply concerning pattern of administrative negligence coupled with high-gravity operational failures during residential construction activities. The most critical finding is the Serious violation of Standard 1735(D)(4), which relates to demolition or structural stability. The assessed penalty of $13,500 for this single item—representing over 66% of the total fine—indicates a significant probability of death or serious physical harm, likely involving a failure to properly brace structures or manage floor loads during demolition. This is compounded by a $5,000 penalty for violating Standard 342(A), suggesting the employer failed to report a serious injury, illness, or fatality within the required eight-hour window, an omission that often signals an attempt to bypass regulatory oversight. The cluster of violations under Standard 1509 (A, B, and C) underscores a systemic collapse of the employer’s Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP). These citations demonstrate that the firm lacked a functional safety program, failed to implement a written Code of Safe Practices, and neglected to conduct required safety meetings. For workers, this regulatory vacuum meant they were operating in an environment without hazard identification or emergency protocols. The presence of these foundational failures alongside a high-gravity structural violation suggests that the hazards were not isolated incidents but the direct result of a management team that prioritized production speed over the basic legal requirements of workplace safety and reporting.
