SafetyQuestion 397 of 1632

After identifying an unsafe condition on a job site, the IIPP standard requires the employer to:

a.Correct it before the end of the working week
b.Correct it in time, removing workers if imminent
c.Correct it, or barricade it and leave it in place
d.Correct it once the written hazard log is updated

Explanation

Section 3203(a)(6) has two limbs and the second is the one candidates forget. Correction must be timely and proportionate to the severity of the hazard, when the condition is observed or discovered; and where an IMMINENT hazard cannot be abated without endangering employees or property, the employer must remove all exposed personnel from the area except those needed to correct it, and give those employees the necessary safeguards. That is why (c) fails - a barricade controls exposure while correction is arranged, and is not itself the correction. Option (a) invents a deadline the standard does not set: severity sets the pace, not the calendar. And option (d) makes the paperwork a precondition, when the log records what was done rather than licensing the delay.
