  Subpart 101-20.1--Building Operations, Maintenance, Protection, and 
                               Alterations
 
Sec. 101-20.105-2  Correction of hazardous conditions.

    (a) GSA is responsible for correcting hazards associated with the 
condition of the space it assigns, including hazards related to building 
features, fixtures, and systems. GSA is also responsible for correcting 
hazards in common, joint, and public use spaces. Occupant agencies are 
responsible for correcting hazards associated with their use of assigned 
space, including those related to the operation of their program 
equipment.
    (b) Hazardous conditions within the occupant agency's responsibility 
to correct shall be corrected within 30 workdays when possible. 
Imminently dangerous conditions shall be corrected immediately upon 
their discovery. If more than 30 workdays are required for correction, 
an abatement plan shall be prepared in accordance with 29 CFR part 1960. 
Corrective alteration measures may be undertaken in accordance with 
Sec. 101-20.106, Reimbursable services.
    (c) Conditions within GSA's responsibility to correct shall be 
identified, documented and presented to the GSA buildings manager. 
Imminently dangerous conditions shall be corrected immediately upon 
their discovery. When an imminently dangerous condition as defined by 29 
CFR 1960.28 exists, this report shall be made by telephone. Upon receipt 
of a properly documented report of hazardous conditions, GSA will 
promptly investigate, determine a plan to resolve the problems, and 
inform the occupant agency. Such reports shall state the hazardous 
condition and cite references to specific OSHA standards violated. In 
cases involving health problems, agencies shall provide to GSA an 
industrial hygienist's report of an investigation of the alleged 
problem, which must include a description of the problem, results of 
testing, and recommendations for correction. When resolution will take 
more than 30 workdays, GSA shall prepare an abatement plan in accordance 
with 29 CFR part 1960, shall furnish this plan to the occupant agency 
for review and subsequent follow-up, and shall give priority to prompt 
abatement of the conditions.
