A. Violations of standards in this regulation are classified as follows:

1. Class I violations are those that the Department determines to present an imminent danger to the health, safety, or well-being of the persons being served, other employees, or the general public; or a substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result therefrom. A physical condition or one or more practices, means, methods, operations, or lack thereof may constitute such a violation. Each day such violation exists may be a subsequent violation.

2. Class II violations are those that are not classified as Class I or Class III violations the Department determines to have a negative impact on the health, safety, or well-being of those being served, other employees, or the general public. A physical condition or one or more practices, means, methods, operations, or lack thereof may constitute such a violation. Each day such violation exists may be a subsequent violation.

3. Class III violations are those that are not classified as Class I or II in this regulation or those that are against the best practices as interpreted by the Department. A physical condition or one or more practices, means, methods, operations, or lack thereof may constitute such a violation. Each day such violation exists may be a subsequent violation.
