Section 39.511. Distribution and enforcement of rules

(a) The employer shall furnish to each regular employe working on or about commercial telephone or telegraph equipment or lines, safety rules governing his conduct while so engaged, and shall take suitable means to secure the compliance of employes with such rules.

(b) The safety rules furnished to any employe may be in such form as the employer may determine are best suited to the needs of individual employes. They shall, however, include the principles set forth in the provisions of § § 39.511—39.515 (relating to rules of employer—signal systems), or at least such part thereof as is applicable to the work in which the employe is engaged, and shall not conflict with these rules.

(c) If a difference of opinion arises with regard to the meaning or application of these rules, or as to the means necessary to carry them out, the decision of the employer or his authorized agent shall be final, subject to an appeal, if taken, to the regulative body having jurisdiction.
