Incident Reporting Requirements

Take these steps when a violation occurs:
  1. Inform the superintendent at once so that immediate corrective action may be taken.
  2. Document all discussions and interactions and in DWR or a follow up email.
  3. For an immediate hazardous condition, work may be suspended in the area of the hazard. If work is suspended, provide notice to the contractor as required in the contract.
  4. After determining that adequate corrective measures have been taken, work may resume.
  5. If corrective action is not taken, send a written notice to the contractor requesting immediate correction, including notification that without correction, the U. S. Department of Labor (USDOL) will be notified.
Provide OCC with a copy of all written notices sent to the contractor. OCC will notify any other agencies as required. Contact OCC for guidance or additional information as needed.
Notify the CST, Construction Support Section (CST-CS) of all work suspensions due to serious violations, or if a contractor refuses to take corrective action. Either event may require a request for a review by OSHA. Provide notification to OSHA if determined necessary. Contact OCC for guidance or additional information as needed.
