23-433. Consulting program
A. The division shall develop a consulting program utilizing visits to the
workplace of employers to provide consultation and advice to such employers. Such
visits:
1. May be conducted only upon request by an employer for consultation and advice on
the interpretation or applicability of standards, possible alternative ways of complying
with applicable standards or other matters related to accident prevention, occupational
health or obligations pursuant to this article.
2. Shall be limited to matters specified in the request.
B. If, after evaluating such request, the director determines an alternative means
of providing consultation is more appropriate and equally effective, he may provide such
alternative means rather than consultation at the workplace.
C. The director shall make recommendations regarding solutions to matters within
the scope of the workplace consultation.
D. No visit pursuant to this section shall be regarded as an inspection or
investigation pursuant to section 23-415. No citation shall be issued nor shall any
civil penalties be proposed upon such visit, except that nothing in this section shall
affect in any manner any provision of this article the purpose of which is to eliminate
imminent danger violations.
