OSHA ETS Clarification Act of 2022

This bill limits the scope of the Department of Labor's authority to issue emergency temporary standards concerning safety and health to dangers or hazards specific to the workplace.

Currently, Labor may issue an emergency standard upon determining that (1) employees are exposed to a new danger or hazard, and (2) the emergency standard is necessary to protect employees.

Under this bill, Labor must also determine that the danger or hazard arises exclusively from or is specific to the workplace covered by the emergency standard.
