8 AAC 61.100 - Imminent danger
(a) When a representative of the department
concludes that in a place of employment a condition or practice exists that
creates an imminent danger, the representative shall immediately ask the
commissioner or the commissioner's authorized designee to issue an order
restraining the condition or practice creating the imminent danger. If a
restraining order is issued, the representative shall post it immediately and
prominently at or near the condition or practice that creates the imminent
danger.
(b) When the department's
representative concludes that a condition or practice exists that creates an
imminent danger, the representative shall immediately inform the employer,
employees, and the employees' authorized representative, if known and readily
available, of the danger and the action taken or recommended. For the purpose
of this subsection, verbal notice is sufficient.
(c) Appropriate citations and notices of
proposed penalties may be issued with respect to an imminent danger, even
though after notice of the danger the employer immediately eliminates the
immediacy of the danger and institutes steps to abate it.
(d) An imminent danger is a condition or
practice in a place of employment which could reasonably be expected to cause
death or serious physical harm, either immediately or before the imminence of
such danger can be eliminated through the enforcement procedures otherwise
provided by this chapter.
