(a) When the Division of Occupational Safety and Health receives a report from the State Department of Public Health pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 105185 of the Health and Safety Code, the report shall constitute a complaint from a government agency representative charging a serious violation and shall subject the employer or place of employment to the requirements of subdivision (a) of Section 6309 for the Division of Occupational Safety and Health to initiate an investigation within three working days. Upon the completion of the investigation, any citations and fines imposed by the division shall be made publicly available on an annual basis pursuant to subdivision (d) of Section 6309.

(b) The blood lead level established in subdivision (c) of Section 105185 of the Health and Safety Code is not intended to supersede any lower blood lead level that may be actionable under the Division of Occupational Safety and Health’s lead standards in its general industry safety order (Section 5198 of Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations) or construction safety order (Section 1532.1 of Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations). For purposes of this section, an actionable employee blood lead level means a level that triggers an employer obligation to reduce lead exposure in the workplace or an investigation by the division.
