Okla. Admin. Code § 380:40-1-17 - Request for extensions of abatement date(s)
(a) An employer
may file a request for extension of abatement date(s) when a good faith effort
to comply with the abatement requirements of a citation has been attempted, but
such abatement has not been completed because of factors beyond the employers
reasonable control.
(b) A request
for extension of abatement date(s) shall be in writing and shall include the
following information:
(1) All steps taken by
the employer, and the dates of such action, in an effort to achieve compliance
during the prescribed abatement period.
(2) The specific additional abatement time
necessary in order to achieve compliance.
(3) The reasons such additional time is
necessary, including the unavailability of professional or technical personnel
or of materials and equipment, or because necessary construction or alteration
of facilities cannot be completed by the original abatement date.
(4) available interim steps are being taken
to safeguard the employees against the cited hazard during the abatement
period.
(c) A request
for extension of abatement date(s) shall be filed with the PEOSH Division of
the Oklahoma Department of Labor no later than the close of the next working
day following the date on which abatement was originally required. A later
filed petition shall be accompanied by the employer's statement of exceptional
circumstances explaining the delay.
