Appellant Matsu Alabama, Inc. (“Matsu”) appeals from the final order of the 

Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission (the “Commission”). After 

an investigation, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration issued three 

citations against Matsu for safety standards violations. Citation 1 had six items, 

Citation 2 had one item, and Citation 3 had one item.

Matsu contested the citations, and the Secretary of Labor initiated an 

enforcement action. The Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) conducted a four-day 

trial, required extensive briefing, and issued a sixty-page Decision and Order. The 

ALJ affirmed all but the second item in Citation 1 and assessed penalties totaling 

$103,000. The Commission denied Matsu’s petition for discretionary review, and 

the ALJ’s decision became a final order of the Commission on November 2, 2015. 

Matsu then filed a petition for review in this Court. On March 3, 2016, this Court 

denied Matsu’s motion for a stay pending review.

After review of the record and with the benefit of oral argument, the Court 

finds no reversible error in the ALJ’s findings of fact or conclusions of law. We 

accordingly deny Matsu’s petition for review and affirm the final order of the 

Commission.

AFFIRMED.
