235 standards.
236 (1) (a) The division, as soon as practicable, shall issue as standards any national
237 consensus standard, any adopted federal standard, or any adopted Utah standard, unless it
238 determines that issuance of the standard would not result in improved safety or health.
239 (b) All codes, standards, and rules adopted under Subsection (1)(a) shall take effect 30
240 days after publication unless otherwise specified.
241 (c) If any conflict exists between standards, the division shall issue the standard that
242 assures the greatest protection of safety or health for affected employees.
243 (2) The division may issue, modify, or revoke any standard as follows:
244 [(a) (i) Whenever the administrator determines upon the basis of information submitted

245 in writing by an interested person, a representative of any organization of employers or
246 employees, a nationally recognized standards-producing organization, the Department of
247 Health, or a state agency or political subdivision, or on information developed by the division
248 or otherwise available, that a rule should be promulgated to promote the objectives of this
249 chapter, the administrator may request recommendations from the advisory council.]
250 [(ii) The administrator shall provide the advisory council with proposals, together with
251 all pertinent factual information developed by the division, or otherwise available, including
252 the results of research, demonstrations, and experiments.]
253 [(iii) The advisory council shall submit to the administrator its recommendations
254 regarding the rule to be promulgated within a period as prescribed by the administrator.]
255 [(b)] (a) The division shall publish a proposed rule issuing, modifying, or revoking an
256 occupational safety or health standard and shall afford interested parties an opportunity to
257 submit written data or comments as prescribed by Title 63G, Chapter 3, Utah Administrative
258 Rulemaking Act. When the administrator determines that a rule should be issued, the division
259 shall publish the proposed rule after the [submission of the advisory council's recommendations
260 or the] expiration of the period prescribed by the administrator for submission.
261 [(c)] (b) The administrator, in issuing standards for toxic materials or harmful physical
262 agents under this subsection, shall set the standard which most adequately assures, to the extent
263 feasible, on the basis of the best available evidence, that no employee will suffer material
264 impairment of health or functional capacity even if the employee has regular exposure to the
265 hazard during an employee's working life. Development of standards under this subsection
266 shall be based upon research, demonstrations, experiments, and other information deemed
267 appropriate. In addition to the attainment of the highest degree of health and safety protection
268 for the employee, other considerations shall be the latest available scientific data in the field,
269 the feasibility of the standards, and experience under this and other health and safety laws.
270 Whenever practicable, the standard shall be expressed in terms of objective criteria and of the
271 performance desired.
272 [(d)] (c) (i) Any employer may apply to the administrator for a temporary order
273 granting a variance from a standard issued under this section. Temporary orders shall be
274 granted only if the employer:
275 (A) files an application which meets the requirements of Subsection (2)[(d)](c)(iv);

276 (B) establishes that the employer is unable to comply with a standard by its effective
277 date because of unavailability of professional or technical personnel or of materials and
278 equipment needed for compliance with the standard or because necessary construction or
279 alteration of facilities cannot be completed by the effective date;
280 (C) establishes that the employer is taking all available steps to safeguard the
281 employer's employees against hazards; and
282 (D) establishes that the employer has an effective program for compliance as quickly as
283 practicable.
284 (ii) Any temporary order shall prescribe the practices, means, methods, operations, and
285 processes which the employer shall adopt and use while the order is in effect and state in detail
286 the employer's program for compliance with the standard. A temporary order may be granted
287 only after notice to employees and an opportunity for a public hearing; provided, that the
288 administrator may issue one interim order effective until a decision is made after public
289 hearing.
290 (iii) A temporary order may not be in effect longer than the period reasonably required
291 by the employer to achieve compliance. In no case shall the period of a temporary order
292 exceed one year.
293 (iv) An application for a temporary order under Subsection (2)[(d)](c) shall contain:
294 (A) a specification of the standard or part from which the employer seeks a variance;
295 (B) a representation by the employer, supported by representations from qualified
296 persons having first-hand knowledge of the facts represented, that the employer is unable to
297 comply with the standard or some part of the standard;
298 (C) a detailed statement of the reasons the employer is unable to comply;
299 (D) a statement of the measures taken and anticipated with specific dates, to protect
300 employees against the hazard;
301 (E) a statement of when the employer expects to comply with the standard and what
302 measures the employer has taken and those anticipated, giving specific dates for compliance;
303 and
304 (F) a certification that the employer has informed the employer's employees of the
305 application by:
306 (I) giving a copy to their authorized representative;

307 (II) posting a statement giving a summary of the application and specifying where a
308 copy may be examined at the place or places where notices to employees are normally posted;
309 and
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

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:
347 (i) employees are exposed to grave danger from exposure to substances or agents
348 determined to be toxic or physically harmful or from new hazards; and
349 (ii) that the standard is necessary to protect employees from danger.
350 (b) An emergency standard shall be effective until superseded by a standard issued in
351 accordance with the procedures prescribed in Subsection (3)(c).
352 (c) Upon publication of an emergency standard the division shall commence a
353 proceeding in accordance with Subsection (2) and the standard as published shall serve as a
354 proposed rule for the proceedings. The division shall issue a standard under Subsection (3) no
355 later than 120 days after publication of the emergency standard.
356 (4) (a) Any affected employer may apply to the division for a rule or order for a
357 variance from a standard issued under this section. Affected employees shall be given notice of
358 each application and may participate in a hearing. The administrator shall issue a rule or order
359 if the administrator determines on the record, after opportunity for an inspection where
360 appropriate and a hearing, that the proponent of the variance has demonstrated by a
361 preponderance of the evidence that the conditions, practices, means, methods, operations, or
362 processes used or proposed to be used by an employer will provide employment and a
363 workplace to the employer's employees that are as safe and healthful as those which would
364 prevail if the employer complied with the standard.
365 (b) The rule or order issued under Subsection (4)(a) shall prescribe the conditions the
366 employer must maintain, and the practices, means, methods, operations and processes that the
367 employer must adopt and use to the extent they differ from the standard in question.
368 (c) A rule or order issued under Subsection (4)(a) may be modified or revoked upon

369 application by an employer, employees, or by the administrator on its own motion, in the
370 manner prescribed for its issuance under Subsection (4) at any time after six months from its
371 issuance.
372 (5) The administrator shall include a statement of reasons for the administrator's
373 actions when the administrator:
374 (a) issues any code, standard, rule, or order;
375 (b) grants any exemption or extension of time; or
376 (c) compromises, mitigates, or settles any penalty assessed under this chapter.
377 (6) Any person adversely affected by a standard issued under this section, at any time
378 prior to 60 days after a standard is issued, may file a petition challenging its validity with the
379 district court having jurisdiction for judicial review. A copy of the petition shall be served
380 upon the division by the petitioner. The filing of a petition may not, unless otherwise ordered
381 by the court, operate as a stay of the standard. The determinations of the division shall be
