Who is authorized to issue a Notice of Suspension?

• A. District Manager
• B. Frontline Supervisor
• C. Inspector-in-Charge (IIC)
• D. IPP

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that formal enforcement actions like a Notice of Suspension require district-level authority. A suspension is a serious step that halts operations or activities until issues are fixed, and it must be issued by someone with the authority to enforce compliance across the district. The District Manager holds that responsibility, ensuring due process, proper documentation, and consistency.

Frontline supervisors focus on day-to-day supervision and immediate safety concerns, not on issuing formal suspension notices. The Inspector-in-Charge conducts inspections and can identify violations and may recommend corrective actions, but the official suspension comes from the district-level manager. The IPP role typically does not carry suspension authority.
