(a) Upon receipt of a complaint from the committee, which it determines to constitute a bona fide allegation of a safety or health violation, the Division shall investigate within 3 working days after receipt if the complaint alleges a serious violation, and not later than 14 calendar days after receipt if the complaint alleges a general violation. The Division may give advance notice of an inspection or investigation and may postpone the same if such action is necessary for the maintenance of security at the facility where the inspection or investigation is to be held, or for ensuring the safety and health of the Division's representative who will be conducting the inspection or investigation.

(b) In addition to the investigations required under subsection (a) above, the Division shall investigate every fatality and every employment accident involving serious injury to five or more correctional industry employees. The Division may in its discretion investigate any other accident or report of a safety or health violation involving correctional industry employees which are reported to it.
