Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) When the Division finds that, under such
					 conditions as shall be specified, a variation from the terms of a Safety Order
					 will give such freedom from danger as the employment reasonably permits, the
					 Division upon written application, after investigation and such hearing as the
					 Division may direct, may make and enter its order permitting such variation
					 from the terms of the said Safety Order in a place of employment, upon such
					 conditions as it may specify and upon the provision and use of such safety
					 measures and appliances as shall in the judgment of the said Division secure
					 the safety of employees. A copy of said order shall be posted conspicuously
					 under glass at the place of employment and shall be maintained in legible
					 condition during the time said order is in effect.
(b) An appeal from a decision of the Division
					 concerning a permit for variation from these Orders may be made to the
					 Industrial Safety Board.
(c) When
					 the Division has reason to believe--or upon receipt of a complaint--that a
					 variation does not provide such freedom from danger as the employment
					 reasonably permits, the Division, after notice to the employer--and to the
					 complainant where a complaint has been received--and after hearing, may
					 continue in force, suspend, revoke, or modify the conditions specified in such
					 order.
(d) Where death or serious
					 personal injury at the place of employment appears in the judgment of the
					 Division to be attributable to a variation from the terms of a Safety Order,
					 the Division may set aside or amend said variation order after notice to the
					 employer and such hearings as the Division may direct. Notice of such action
					 shall be conspicuously posted at the place of employment.
(e) No declaration, act, or omission of the
					 Division or of its representatives, other than a written order authorizing a
					 variation as permitted under this Order, shall be deemed to exempt, either
					 wholly or in part, expressly or impliedly, any employer or place of employment
					 from full compliance with the terms of any Safety Order issued by the
					 Division.

EDITORIAL NOTE: The Federal metal and
						non-metallic Mine Health and Safety Mandatory Standards numbers have been
						included with the Mine Safety Order numbers. These sections and standards are
						indicated by a number such as (3-5). The Mine Safety Order number precedes the

						have no Federal reference number but all Federal Mandatory Standards are
						covered by State Safety Orders. This arrangement will help the mine operators
						and their employees in complying with both the Federal and State Mine Safety
						Orders.
The Federal Mandatory Standard "Part" numbers are
						not included in the Section numbers, but are listed here for your
						information:
Part 55-- Open Pit Mining

						as:
"General"--Applies to both surface and underground mining
						operations.

						only.
"Underground"--Applies to underground and surface
						facilities of underground mining operations.
