Interim Order |
||||||
|
If the need arises, employers may apply to OSHA for an
interim order so that they may continue to operate under existing conditions until a
variance decision is made. Application for an interim order may be made either at the same
time as, or after, the application for a variance. Reasons why the order should be granted
may be included in the interim order application. If OSHA denies the request, the employer is notified of the reason for denial. If the interim order is granted, the employer and other concerned parties are informed of the order, and the terms of the order are published in the "Federal Register". The employer must inform employees of the order by giving a copy to the authorized employee representative and by posting a copy wherever notices are normally posted. |
