Section 618.6476 - Modification of time for abatement of violation: Objections to petitions

1. Affected employees or their representative may file a written objection to a petition for a modification of the time for the abatement of a serious violation with the district manager. Failure to file an objection within 10 working days after the date of posting the petition or service of it upon the representative of the employees, whichever is later, constitutes a waiver of any further right to object to the petition.

2. If the affected employees or their representative objects to the petition, the district manager shall consult with the Chief and the Chief will make a determination. The Chief will furnish to the employer and the affected employees or their representative a written notice of his or her decision and the reasons for it. The Chief's decision is final.

3. If the petition is uncontested upon the expiration of 15 working days after the date on which a copy of it was posted or served upon the representative of the employees, the district manager may approve or deny the petition.
