- The notified agency shall appoint officers to join the inspection team and coordinate in handling the case.

- The Director of the Department of Labor, Invalids, and Social Affairs or the Chief Inspector of the Department of Labor, Invalids, and Social Affairs where the incident occurred shall issue an Inspection Decision within their authority. If necessary, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee shall issue an Inspection Decision.
