Section 71-403 - Posting of Citation
Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 9, September 27, 2024
A. Upon receipt of a citation under the Act, the employer shall immediately post such citation, or a copy thereof, unedited, at or near each place an alleged violation referred to in the citation occurred, except as provided below. Where, because of the nature of the employer's operations, it is not practical to post the citation at or near each place of alleged violation, such citation shall be posted, unedited, in a prominent place where it will be readily observable by all affected employees. The employer shall take steps to ensure that the citation is not altered, defaced, or covered by other material. Notices of de minimis violations need not be posted.
B. Each citation, or a copy thereof, shall remain posted until the violation has been abated, or for three working days, whichever is later. The filing by the employer of a request for a contested case hearing under R.71-407 and R.R.71-408 shall not affect his posting responsibility under these sections.
C. Any employer failing to comply with the provisions of paragraphs A and B of this regulation shall be subject to citation and penalty in accordance with the provisions of Section 41-15-320, Code of Laws of South Carolina, 1976, as amended.
