threatens physical harm or that an imminent danger exists may request an inspection by giving notice of the violation
or danger to the department. The notice must be in writing and set out with reasonable particularity the grounds for
the notice and be signed by the employee or the representative of the employees. If, upon receipt of the notice, the

notice shall be kept confidential and may not appear in the copy provided the employer or in any record available to
the employer.
(c) The department shall furnish the notifying person a written explanation of why a citation was not issued after a
special inspection.
(d) The department shall, by regulation, establish a review procedure for a failure to issue a citation after a special
