Explanation:

An employee can be defined as an individual who is employed by an employer of labor to perform specific tasks, duties or functions in an organization.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is a federal agency saddled with the responsibility of assuring and ensuring safe and healthy working conditions for employees by setting and enforcing standards, providing education, trainings and assistance to various organizations.

According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), safety precautions such as wearing a personal protective equipment e.g masks (respirators), ear plugs, safety boots, gloves, helmet, etc. are very important and essential to be used by workers while working in a hazard prone environment or industries.

A citation is a written notice issued by OSHA to an employer to inform him or her of a violation by an employee. This citation is expected to be pasted by the employer near the incident area and visible to all employees until sorted out with the agency.

When an employee gets citations and fines from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) for violations or not complying with its regulations, he or she has only fifteen (15) days to appeal the findings in writing.
