Hamilton Fixture (“Hamilton”) manufactures wooden store fixtures for displayinggreeting cards, books, and tapes at its main plant in Hamilton, Ohio, where it employs approximately 350 workers. After inspecting that plant and its warehouse, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) issued three citations, each containing a number of items alleging that Hamilton committed serious, repeat, and other violations of safety and health standards under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, 29 USC. 05 651-678 (“the Act”). After considering the testimony and exhibits presented for more than five days at the hearing, former Review Commission Administrative Law Judge Joe D. Sparks rejected Hamilton’s preliminary motion for relief, in which it alleged that the inspection was not conducted “within reasonable limits and in a reasonable manner” as required by section 8(a) of the Act, 29 U.S.C. 5 657(a). After addressing the merits of the charges and taking into consideration the partial settlement agreement, he vacated nine items, or parts thereof, and affirmed the remainder. He assessed penalties totalling $6,050. The issues on review are whether the judge erred in denying Hamilton’s motion, and, if not, whether he erred in affirming thirteen serious, repeat, and other citation items, or parts thereof.I.
