9.  Appeal of Citation

A cited University department may request an appeal of a citation. EH&S determines the technical appropriateness of appealing a citation and assists the Attorney General's Division in developing the appeal if it is determined that a valid legal basis exists. Notifications of hearings on appeals will be received and processed by EH&S. Employees may also appeal citations directly to L&I.

If an appeal is submitted, employees must be informed and provided the opportunity to participate in the hearings.
