Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Prospects for an Osha/Etip Project to Facilitate Technological Innovation
Interviews with osha staff indicate serious conceptual problems on the part of the agency regarding the system atic use of experimental variances as part of more general policy making. These problems revolve around possible increased worker exposure to risk, and a related prefer ence for laboratory experimentation with new health and safety equipment or techniques.
Characteristics of the variance process as a whole appear to limit the scope of variances as a mode of osha policy making. First, variance orders apply solely to individual employers on a case-by-case basis. Further, osha staff state that permanent and experimental variances should be considered only in the case of design standards, not performance standards.
