8 AAC 61.050. Representatives of the employers and employees

(a) A representative of the employer and a representative authorized by the employees will be given an opportunity to accompany the department's representative during the inspection of any place of employment for the purpose of aiding the inspection. Additional employer representatives and additional representatives authorized by employees may accompany the department's representative when he determines that additional representatives will further aid the inspection. Different employer and employee representatives may accompany the department's representative during each different phase of an inspection if this will not interfere with the conduct of the inspection.

(b) The department's representative will resolve all disputes as to who is the representative authorized by the employer or employees. If there is no authorized representative of employees, or if the department's representative is unable to determine with reasonable certainty who is the representative, he shall consult with a reasonable number of employees concerning matters of safety and health in the workplace.

(c) The department's representative may deny the right of accompaniment to any person whose conduct interferes with a fair and orderly inspection. The right of accompaniment in areas containing trade secrets is subject to AS 18.60.099 . With regard to information classified by an agency of the United States government in the interest of national security, only persons authorized to have access to this information may accompany a department representative in areas containing the information.
