practice discovered that creates a safety or health hazard during the course of
an on-site visit.

(c) An employer shall take the necessary
action to eliminate or control employee exposure to a serious violation as
defined in

discovered during an on-site visit. If the employer fails to correct the
serious violation within the time specified by the division, the division will,
in its discretion, have the affected place of employment inspected by a

a citation be issued.
(d)
Consultants and trainers may not issue citations for alleged violations of

order restraining the practice or condition creating the imminent danger. If a
consultant or trainer issues a restraining order, he shall immediately inform
the commissioner and the division that a restraining order was issued. The
division will have the affected place of employment inspected by a compliance
officer. The compliance officer may modify or revoke the restraining order and
recommend to the department that a citation be issued.
