September 15 binder: Kyle’s merchandise and containment observations

September 15, 2025, 7:10:24 a.m., as printed in the produced email header. Kyle to Ulysses Sheppard and OSHA Dallas Area Office, copied to Executive Secretariat.

The produced header lists an attached September 15 supplemental PDF binder. The observation excerpt below appears on original inspection-file PDF p. 76 and original Part 1 PDF p. 181; the email header is original Part 1 p. 1550.

During the roof replacement, granular/white foam-like debris and other particulates repeatedly fell into sales areas and onto merchandise and fixtures (photos attached). Minimal containment measures, drop cloths, or isolation of work areas were not in place. Water intrusions from the roof pooled onto the sales floor in multiple areas of the store, with catch bins placed among customers and employees (photos attached). • Large amounts of settled dust/roof particulate remain distributed across shelves and products, including in the Pet department (photos attached).

Selected owner observation only. Witness/employee accounts, health information, contact details and unrelated sections are omitted. The wording is Kyle’s report; it is not an agency finding. Its presence in the production establishes that this material is in the produced records, not that every attachment was reviewed or the allegation accepted.
