10-day hazard notice for building sites

The Washington Department of Labor & Industries must try to notify the employer or owner within 10 working days. This applies when inspectors at building construction sites (NAICS 236) immediately spot a hazard that could injure a worker. The notice is a good faith effort and does not change other rights or duties under this chapter. This requirement is ongoing.
