Peer comparison
Worse on violations than nearly every other employer in NAICS 4238 within OH. Peer group: 95 employers. This establishment has 32 OSHA violations; peer median is 2.
Safety self-report (OSHA 300A)
Recordable injury rates the employer filed with OSHA’s Injury Tracking Application. DART covers cases with days away, restricted, or transferred; TRIR is the total recordable case rate.
Reported for 436 average annual employees at this establishment.
Source: OSHA ITA Form 300A (employer self-reported). Rates are per 100 full-time equivalent workers. Establishments below the ~10-FTE threshold are not required to report.
Industry benchmark
BLS rates reflect industry-wide averages. Self-reported figures come from OSHA’s Injury Tracking Application; absence of self-reported data does not necessarily indicate non-compliance — many establishments fall below the ITA reporting threshold.
Inspection breakdown
Complaint- and accident-triggered inspections are stronger risk signals than routine planned inspections.

- National Aeronautics and Space AdministrationSAP PURCHASE REQUISITION: 4200259057. THIS PROCUREMENT IS FOR SINGLE CRYSTAL SUPERALLOY SLAB CASTINGS MADE OF SIX NEW SUPERALLOY COMPOSITIONS. AFTER DIRECTIONAL SOLIDIFICATION, THE SINGLE CRYSTAL CASTINGS SHALL ALL BE HEAT TREATED TOGETHER IN A SINGLE BATCH HEAT TREAT LOAD ACCORDING TO THE PARAMETERS PROVIDED IN THE STATEMENT OF WORK. THE RESULTS GENERATED ON PRIOR ALLOYS HELPED DESIGN IMPROVED, OPTIMAL ALLOYS FOR TURBINE BLADE APPLICATIONS. THE QUALITY AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF ADVANCED SUPERALLOYS ARE HIGHLY SENSITIVE TO THE PROCESS AND HANDLING TECHNIQUES EMPLOYED DURING CASTING BY A VENDOR. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE FOR SINGLE CRYSTAL SUPERALLOY AIRFOIL MATERIALS, WHERE SINGLE CRYSTALS ARE GROWN USING A DIRECTIONAL SOLIDIFICATION PROCESS. THE HEAT TRANSFER CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PROPRIETARY CASTING EQUIPMENT AND ITS ENVIRONMENT DURING THE DIRECTIONAL SOLIDIFICATION PROCESS INVARIABLY INDUCE LOCALIZED, DENDRITIC SEGREGATION IN COMPOSITION AND MICROSTRUCTURE OF A SINGLE CRYSTAL CASTING. THIS SEGREGATION HAS SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS ON IMPORTANT MECHANICAL PROPERTIES SUCH AS CREEP RESISTANCE, AS WELL AS MICROSTRUCTURAL PHASE STABILITY. AFTER SOLIDIFICATION, HEAT TREATMENTS ARE PERFORMED TO REDUCE SOME OF THE SEGREGATION IN CHEMISTRY AND TO REFINE THE PRECIPITATE MICROSTRUCTURE. THE HEAT TREATMENT EFFECTS ON THE CASTING MATERIAL ARE AGAIN SENSITIVE TO THE PROPRIETARY DESIGN AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THE FURNACES AND COOLING SYSTEMS USED IN THESE HEAT TREATMENTS. . THE UEET ($1M) AND SUBSONICS FIXED WING AIRFOIL PROJECTS HAVE BEEN CONDUCTING COMPREHENSIVE INVESTIGATIONS OF THE EFFECTS OF EXPERIMENTAL COMPOSITIONS ON CREEP AND OXIDATION RESISTANCE, AS WELL AS PHASE STABILITY. IN THIS WORK, THE UNIQUE PROPRIETARY EQUIPMENT AND PROCEDURES TO CONSISTENTLY CAST AND HEAT TREAT SINGLE CRYSTAL AIRFOIL MATERIALS TO OUR SPECIFIC COMPOSITIONS AND SPECIFICATIONS. GRC HAS SPENT OVER THE LAST SIX YEARS OVER $1M MEASURING THE EFFECTS OF COMPOSITION ON AIRFOIL PROPERTIES USING CREEP TESTING, ANALYTICAL SCIENCE, METALLOGRAPHIC, AND FRACTOGRAPHIC EVALUATIONS ON APPROXIMATELY 15 DIFFERENT ALLOY COMPOSITIONS. THE RESULTS REPRESENT A COMPREHENSIVE DATABASE ON SINGLE CRYSTAL AIRFOIL ALLOYS, ALL BASELINED ON THE CASTING AND HEAT TREATING OPERATIONS PERFORMED. GRC WOULD NEED TO REPEAT A SUBSTANTIAL PORTION OF THE $1M ALREADY INVESTED IN ORDER TO ENSURE COMPATIBILITY WITH ANY NEW VENDOR. GRC CAN NOT FORCE THE COMPANY TO RELEASE ALL INFORMATION ON THESE PROPRIETARY OPERATIONS. THE TESTING AND EVALUATION OF MATERIAL FROM AN ALTERNATE VENDOR WOULD EVEN THEN STILL BE VERY DISADVANTAGEOUS AND RISKY TO THE SUCCESS OF THIS PROGRAM, BECAUSE THE SEPARATION OF DIFFERENCES IN TEST RESULTS DUE TO THE VENDOR FROM THOSE DUE TO THE MATERIAL COMPOSITION AND PROCESSING PROPERTIES WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE. THE PROGRAM CANNOT INCUR THE RESULTING CONSUMPTION OF ADDITIONAL FUNDS AND SCHEDULE FOR THIS CONTINGENCY.contract · Last action 2009-03-27$111,370

About this data
This profile aggregates federal enforcement records on PCC AIRFOILS LLC from every major federal compliance and enforcement source plus the UVA Corporate Prosecution Registry. OSHA workplace safety inspections, WHD wage cases, MSHA mine safety, EPA environmental enforcement, NLRB labor relations, OFLC visa/labor certification, FMCSA motor carrier registration, SAM.gov debarments, CMS nursing-home records, BLS industry safety benchmarks, OSHA ITA self-reported injury rates, SEC enforcement and financial disclosures, CPSC and NHTSA recalls.
Establishments are matched across agencies using normalized employer name, state, and ZIP code. This establishment resolves to the parent rollup BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY INC, which operates 1,605 establishments in our dataset.
OSHA citations typically appear 3–8 months after the inspection, so very recent enforcement actions may not yet be reflected. Profiles may be incomplete if the establishment operates under multiple legal names or files under variations our entity-matching rules don’t yet cover.
