Section 8.61.120. Posting of citations.

	(a)  Upon receipt of a citation issued under 8 AAC 61.110, the employer shall immediately post the citation, or an unedited copy of the citation, at or near each place an alleged violation referred to in the citation occurred. If because of the nature of the employer's operation it is not practicable to post a citation at or near each place of alleged violation, the citation shall be posted in a prominent place where it will be readily observable by all affected employees. The employer shall take steps to ensure the citation is not altered, defaced, or covered by other material.  
	(b)  Each citation must remain posted until the violation has been abated, or for five working days, whichever is later. The filing by the employer of a notice of intention to contest under 8 AAC 61.150 does not affect posting responsibilities under this section unless or until the board issues a final order vacating the citation.  
	(c)  An employer who has filed a notice of intention to contest under 8 AAC 61.150 may post in the same location as the citation a notice that the citation is being contested before the board. The notice may explain the reasons for the contest and may indicate what specific steps have been taken to abate employee exposure to the alleged violation.
