• 2020 Ohio 5200

Syllabus

Pursuant to the Ohio Administrative Code, proposed settlement of a Violation of a Specific Safety Regulation claim is to be considered by an industrial commission staff hearing officer who is to determine whether the settlement is appropriate after a hearing, the staff hearing officer may issue an order disapproving the proffered settlement. The magistrate did not err in reading Administrative Code 4121-3-20(F)(1) to mean what it says, and the industrial commission is within its mandate in taking fairness and safety considerations into account when it makes its determination. Objections to magistrate's decision overruled writ of mandamus against commission denied.
