U.S. Department of Labor 0St,i of Occupational Safety and Health Administration oPPt `99 Federal Office Building 200 North High Street, Room 620 Columbus, Ohio 43215 Phone: (614) 469-5582 FAX: (614)469-6791 STgTt aF Proshot Concrete 5148 Musgrove Dr. Florence, AL 35630 Dear Employer, The recent inspection of your workplace revealed no instances of Repeated, Willful, or Failure -To -Abate violations, nor were there a significant number of High Gravity Serious violations. Additionally, the compliance officer has reported that you have a good understanding of the actions necessary to correct the violations cited, and that you are willing to make those corrections by the date(s) specified in the attached citation. These factors, along with the good faith you have exhibited, makes your firm eligible for an Expedited Informal Settlement Agreement (EISA). Under this program, an employer and OSHA can enter into an Informal Settlement Agreement without going through the formal procedure of meeting in the Area Office. However, if you decide to enter into the EISA, you should be aware that you relinquish your right to contest the citations and penalties of this inspection. The EISA can be used only where the sole issue of dispute is the dollar amount of proposed penalties. If you wish to discuss, change, or object to any other aspect of the inspection or citations -- including abatement dates, validity of violations, classification of violations -- then the EISA cannot be used. Under those circumstances, you may request an Informal Conference with me and/or exercise your contest rights as explained elsewhere. You should carefully read the enclosed EISA to determine whether the terms of the agreement are acceptable to you. Key elements of the agreement call for OSHA to agree to a 30 percent reduction in the total penalty amount proposed; for the Employer to correct the violations by the abatement date(s) set forth in the citation(s); for the Employer to provide evidence of corrective actions taken and to provide written certification that all items have been abated at the time of final abatement. (The Certification Correction Action Worksheet is attached to the Citation and Notification of Penalty.) Please note that failure to comply with any of the terms set forth in the agreement will cause the penalty to revert to the initially proposed amount.
