DOSH must investigate a complaint charging a serious violation of health or safety standards within :

• A. One working day
• B. Two working days
• C. Three working days
• D. Five working days

Answer: (C)

Three working days. When a complaint alleges a serious health or safety violation, the Division of Occupational Safety and Health prioritizes the case and begins the investigation promptly to protect workers from ongoing exposure. Initiating action within three days allows investigators to gather facts, interview employees, inspect the site, and review records to determine if a violation exists and what corrective measures are needed. This timeframe balances the need for a thorough initial assessment with the urgency of addressing potentially dangerous conditions. Shorter time frames would be impractical for a proper investigation, while longer delays could leave workers at risk before any corrective action is taken.
