             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.

             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

             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

             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

             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

             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;

             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.

             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

             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
             382      conclusive if supported by substantial evidence on the record as a whole.
             383          (7) In determining the priority for establishing standards under this section, the division
             384      shall give due regard to the urgency of the need for mandatory safety and health standards for
             385      particular industries, trades, crafts, occupations, businesses, workplaces or work environments.
             386      The administrator shall also give due regard to the recommendations of the Department of
             387      Health about the need for mandatory standards in determining the priority for establishing the
             388      standards.
