N.C.P.I.—Crim. 257.12
GIVING ADVANCE NOTICE OF OSHA INSPECTION WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION. MISDEMEANOR.
The defendant has been charged with giving advance notice of an
inspection to be conducted pursuant to the Occupational Health and
Safety Act of North Carolina (OSHANC) without authority from [the
Commissioner] [the Director] [an agent to whom such authority had been
delegated].
For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the State must
prove two things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that the defendant gave advance notice of an inspection 1 to
be conducted pursuant to the Occupational Health and Safety Act of North
Carolina (OSHANC).
And Second, that the defendant acted without authority from [the
Commissioner2], [the Director3] [an agent to whom such authority had
been delegated].
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date, the defendant gave advance notice of an
inspection to be conducted pursuant to the Occupational Health and
Safety Act of North Carolina (OSHANC) without authority from [the
Commissioner] [the Director] [an agent to whom such authority had been
delegated], it would be your duty to return a verdict of guilty. If you do
not so find or have a reasonable doubt as to one or more of these things,
it would be your duty to return a verdict of not guilty.
