310 (III) by other appropriate means.
311 (v) The certification required under Subsection (2)[(d)](c)(iv) shall contain a
312 description of how employees have been informed.
313 (vi) The information to employees required under Subsection (2)[(d)](c)(v) shall
314 inform the employees of their right to petition the division for a hearing.
315 (vii) The administrator is authorized to grant a variance from any standard or some part
316 of the standard when the administrator determines that it is necessary to permit an employer to
317 participate in a research and development project approved by the administrator to demonstrate
318 or validate new and improved techniques to safeguard the health or safety of workers.
319 [(e)] (d) (i) Any standard issued under this subsection shall prescribe the use of labels
320 or other forms of warning necessary to ensure that employees are apprised of all hazards,
321 relevant symptoms and emergency treatment, and proper conditions and precautions of safe use
322 or exposure. When appropriate, a standard shall prescribe suitable protective equipment and
323 control or technological procedures for use in connection with such hazards and provide for
324 monitoring or measuring employee exposure at such locations and intervals, and in a manner
325 necessary for the protection of employees. In addition, any such standard shall prescribe the
326 type and frequency of medical examinations or other tests which shall be made available by the
327 employer, or at the employer's cost, to employees exposed to hazards in order to most
328 effectively determine whether the health of employees is adversely affected by exposure. If
329 medical examinations are in the nature of research as determined by the division, the
330 examinations may be furnished at division expense. The results of such examinations or tests
331 shall be furnished only to the division; and, at the request of the employee, to the employee's
332 physician.
333 (ii) The administrator may by rule make appropriate modifications in requirements for
334 the use of labels or other forms of warning, monitoring or measuring, and medical
335 examinations warranted by experience, information, or medical or technological developments
336 acquired subsequent to the promulgation of the relevant standard.
337 [(f)] (e) Whenever a rule issued by the administrator differs substantially from an

Text Box
- 12 - 338 existing national consensus standard, the division shall publish a statement of the reasons why
339 the rule as adopted will better effectuate the purposes of this chapter than the national
340 consensus standard.
341 [(g)] (f) Whenever a rule, standard, or national consensus standard is modified by the
342 secretary so as to make less restrictive the federal Williams-Steiger Occupational Safety and
343 Health Act of 1970, the less restrictive modification shall be immediately applicable to this
344 chapter and shall be immediately implemented by the division.
345 (3) (a) The administrator shall provide an emergency temporary standard to take
346 immediate effect upon publication if the administrator determines that:
