Yes. The same sanctions and penalties that may be imposed for non-compliance with the Order may also be imposed by OLMS if the contractor does not take all necessary steps to ensure that no person intimidates, threatens, or coerces any individual for the purpose of interfering with the filing of a complaint, furnishing information, or assisting or participation in a compliance evaluation, complaint investigation, hearing or other activity related to the Order.
