. Citations issued pursuant to this article shall be classified
according to the nature of the violation, and shall indicate the
classification on the face thereof, as follows:
(a) Class "A" violations are violations of Section 1290, 1292,
1293, 1293.1, 1294, 1294.1, 1294.5, 1308, 1308.1, or 1392, and any
other violations that the director determines present an imminent
danger to minor employees or a substantial probability that death or
serious physical harm would result therefrom. The violation of
Section 1391 for the third or subsequent time shall also constitute a
class "A" violation. A physical condition or one or more practices,
means, methods, or operations in use in a place of employment may
constitute a violation. A class "A" violation is subject to a civil
penalty in an amount not less than five thousand dollars ($5,000) and
not exceeding ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for each and every
violation. Willful or repeated violations shall receive higher civil
penalties than those imposed for comparable nonwillful or first
violations, not to exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000).
(b) Class "B" violations are violations of Section 1299 or 1308.5,
or a violation of Section 1391 for the first and second time, and
those other violations that the director determines have a direct or
immediate relationship to the health, safety, or security of minor
employees, other than class "A" violations. A class "B" violation is
subject to a civil penalty in an amount not less than five hundred
dollars ($500) and not to exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000) for
each and every violation. Willful or repeated violations shall
receive higher civil penalties than those imposed for comparable
nonwillful or first violations. A second violation of Section 1391
shall be subject to a civil penalty of one thousand dollars ($1,000).
(c) Nothing in this section shall preclude the imposition of
criminal penalties provided for in this chapter.
