A PSO may issue an 'order to remedy' requiring correction within what timeframe?

• A. Immediately
• B. After a court decision
• C. Within a set timeframe
• D. After one year

Answer: (C)

When a PSO identifies a contravention or unsafe condition, they issue an Order to Remedy that requires correction within a set timeframe. The important point is that the deadline is written into the order itself, providing a specific compliance window. It’s not automatically immediate, nor tied to a court decision, and it isn’t a fixed long period like one year. The timeframe is determined by the PSO based on the nature of the issue and the work needed, with the order giving a clear deadline for when the corrective work must be completed. In urgent safety cases the window can be short, but the key idea is that the remedy must be completed within the timeframe specified in the order.
