What action should a contractor take if they want to continue working after a citation?

Request a meeting with the state board
Pay the fine immediately
Request a hearing
Stop all work immediately

The correct answer is: Request a hearing

When a contractor receives a citation, one of their rights is to contest the citation and seek resolution through a more formal process. Requesting a hearing allows the contractor to present their case to an impartial authority, typically in a legal setting, where they can challenge the citation and potentially reduce penalties or clarify misunderstandings. This action enables the contractor to continue their operations rather than halting work or paying fines, which might signal an acceptance of guilt or responsibility for the cited issues. Engaging in a hearing can be a strategic decision to protect their business interests and ensure compliance with state regulations, while also seeking to maintain their reputation and standing within the industry.
