Plain-English summary

This short amendment corrects the Commission's decision issued two days earlier. That decision had incorrectly stated that the judge assessed a $50 penalty for violations involving the first-aid standard. The amendment states that the judge assessed no penalty and orders the earlier decision conformed to that correction. It does not reproduce the earlier decision's underlying facts or full disposition.

Decision snapshot

  • Outcome: The December 18, 1973 decision was amended to state that the judge assessed no penalty.
  • Key point: The amendment corrects only the earlier decision's statement about the penalty assessment.
