Pursuant to 29 C.F.R. 1903.19, within ten (10) calendar days of the abatement date, the employer must submit documentation showing that it is in compliance with the standard, including describing the steps that it is taking to ensure that the point of operation of machinery is guarded to prevent employee from having any part of their body in the danger zone during operating cycle.
