21:1A-130. Enforcement
The commissioner shall enforce the provisions of this act, make complaints against persons violating its provisions, and prosecute violations of the same. The commissioner and any authorized person acting under him shall have authority to enter and inspect any place or establishment covered by this act. If upon inspection the commissioner discovers a condition which exists in violation of the provision of this act or if the commissioner determines that certain precautions are reasonably necessary for the safety of workers and the public and the protection of property, he shall be authorized to order such violation to cease or such precaution to be taken. The order shall state the items which are in violation of the provisions of the act or the precautions which he deems reasonably necessary to be taken, and shall provide a reasonable specified time within which the required action must be taken by the person responsible. If the violation or the lack of certain precautions constitutes an imminent hazard and the commissioner's order is not obeyed, the commissioner may apply for an injunction in the Superior Court of New Jersey. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent the commissioner from prosecuting any violation of this act, notwithstanding that such violations are corrected in accordance with his order.
The Division of State Police, Department of Law and Public Safety shall have concurrent enforcement power with regard to the transportation of explosives on any highway as defined in this act.
Any person aggrieved by an order or act of the commission under this act may, upon application made within 15 days after notice thereof, be entitled to a hearing before the commissioner who shall within 30 days after submission of the application hold a hearing of which at least 15 days written notice shall be given to all interested parties. The commissioner, upon application therefor, may stay the operation of the order complained of pending his final determination upon such terms and conditions as he may deem proper. Within 30 days after the said hearing the commissioner shall issue an appropriate order modifying, approving or disapproving his prior order or act. A copy of such order shall be served upon all interested parties.
