My knowledge base contains information regarding hazard communication and regulatory compliance. Abatement documentation must be accurate and adequately describe the abated condition. It can be submitted electronically. The documentation doesn't mandate a particular type of documentary evidence for specific cited conditions. [2] [2]

Examples of acceptable documentation include:

• Photographic or video evidence of abatement
• Evidence of the purchase or repair of equipment
• Evidence of actions taken to abate
• Bills from repair services
• Reports or evaluations by safety and health professionals describing the abatement of the hazard or a report of analytical testing
• Documentation from the manufacturer that the article that was repaired is within the manufacturer's specifications
• Records of training completed by employees, if the citation is related to inadequate employee training
• A copy of program documents, if the citation was related to a missing or inadequate program, such as a deficiency in the employer's respirator or hazard communication program

[1] [1] [1] [1] [1] [1] [1] [1] Abatement documentation is required for:

• Willful violations
• Repeat violations
• Serious violations where UOSH determines such documentation is necessary as indicated on the citation

[2] [2] [2] When a source of a hazard is identified which involves interrelated violations of different standards, the violations may be grouped into a single violation. [3]
