In the context of a construction site inspection, when a Compliance Safety and Health Officer (CSHO) uncovers an imminent danger situation, the officer has the authority to take immediate action to protect the health and safety of workers. This includes the ability to order workers off the job to ensure that no one is exposed to potentially life-threatening conditions.

Ordering workers off the job serves as a critical measure to prevent accidents or injuries resulting from imminent dangers such as hazardous environments, structural instabilities, or unsafe equipment operation. This action helps to prioritize the safety of individuals on site and compels the employer to address the identified hazard before operations can continue.

The other options represent actions that do not align with the immediate response required when an imminent danger is identified. For instance, suspending all operations immediately may not be feasible or necessary for all types of imminent dangers, and informing the employer without taking immediate action would not sufficiently protect workers. Additionally, while further investigations can be important, they should not delay action to safeguard worker safety when an imminent danger is evident.
