For Employers
If you are cited for a violation of Occupational Safety and/or Health rules, you have the right to appeal the citation. You
have 15 working days from the date you receive this citation to appeal. (RCW 49.17.140(1)) "Working day” means a

For violations classified as serious, willful, repeat serious, or failure to abate serious, an employer must correct the violations by the
date listed on the Citation and Notice / Employer’s Certification of Abatement form unless a stay of abatement date is requested in

put on hold until the appeal is resolved. All general and repeat general violations under appeal automatically have stay of abatement
dates until a final order on those violations has been issued. If you only need an extension of an abatement date, please see the above
