A copy of 410 IAC 7-20 shall be kept on the premises at all times. All food establishment personnel employed by a food establishment may be required to attend a food safety education program given by the Department for any of the following reasons:
(A) If the establishment is subjected to immediate closure by the Health Commissioner and the education program is deemed necessary by the Health Commissioner.
(B) If the establishment is cited with three or more critical violations on two out of three consecutive regular inspections, whether or not the critical violations are the same on each inspection.
