Said order shall state the items which are in violation of the provisions of this act and shall provide a reasonable specified time within which the violations must cease. The person responsible shall make the corrections necessary to comply with the requirements of this act within the time specified in the order. If the violation constitutes an imminent hazard and the commissioner's order is not obeyed, he shall forthwith order the cessation of work and shall prohibit the employment of any persons within the hazardous area except for the purpose of eliminating the imminent hazard.
