If my department receives a regulatory citation for violating an occupational, environmental, fire/life safety, or other code, who is responsible for paying the fine?
The responsible department must make arrangements to pay the fines associated with regulatory citations. If the cost of the citation exceeds the financial resources of the responsible department, the department must go through its administrative channels to secure funding. (see EHS/RMS Policy 20, Self-Insurance Coverage). Regulatory actions against the university must be reported to EHS/RMS immediately. EHS/RMS will assist the affected department with mitigation, remediation, and defense if needed. (see EHS/RMS Policy 13, Regulatory Agency Activities).
