What is defined as a safety violation given when a previous violation has not been corrected?

A safety violation is defined as a "Failure to Abate Prior Violation" when it pertains to the issue of not correcting a previous infraction. This means that if a contractor or individual has already received a notice about a safety violation and has not taken the necessary steps to correct it, they can be issued a new violation because the previous one remains unaddressed.

In the context of safety regulations, this emphasizes the importance of addressing safety issues promptly. Keeping previous violations open can lead to increased risk of accidents or incidents in the workplace, which regulatory bodies aim to mitigate through such definitions.

The other options represent concepts that are related but do not capture the specific scenario of not correcting a prior violation. For instance, a "Notice of Violation" is a formal notification of a violation but does not specify that it relates to an uncorrected issue. A "Citation for Non-Compliance" generally refers to a failure to adhere to a regulation without necessarily indicating if it follows past infringements. Lastly, "Safety Infraction" is a more general term and does not specifically address the context of prior violations needing corrections.
