Part 4731.1060 - INSPECTIONS; REQUESTS BY WORKERS

Subpart 1. Worker request for inspection.

A worker or representative of workers who believes that a violation of this chapter or a license condition exists or has occurred in licensed activities with regard to radiological working conditions in which the worker is engaged may request an inspection by giving notice of the alleged violation to the supervisor of the Radioactive Materials Unit of the Department of Health or to the commissioner's inspectors.

Subp. 2. Requirements.

A notice under subpart 1 must be in writing, must set forth the specific grounds for the notice, and must be signed by the worker or workers' representative. A copy of the notice must be provided to the licensee by the Radioactive Materials Unit supervisor or the inspector no later than at the time of inspection, except that upon the request of the worker giving the notice, the worker's name and the name of individuals referred to in the notice must not appear in the copy or on any record published, released, or made available by the commissioner, except for good cause shown.

Subp. 3. Inspection required.

If, upon receipt of a notice, the Radioactive Materials Unit supervisor determines that the complaint meets the requirements of subparts 1 and 2, and that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the alleged violation exists or has occurred, the supervisor must require an inspection to be made as soon as practicable to determine if the alleged violation exists or has occurred. Inspections under this subpart need not be limited to matters referred to in the complaint.
