Legal Business Environment

A-Plus Battery Company (ABC) makes batteries for motor vehicles. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) proposes a safety rule governing the handling of acids in the workplace, including chemicals ABC uses in its operations. ABC concludes that the rule will involve substantial compliance costs without significantly increasing workplace safety. ABC sends a letter to OSHA indicating its objections to the proposed rule and enclosing research reports and other data supporting those objections. Does OSHA have any obligation to consider these objections? What procedures must OSHA follow when it makes new rules, such as this one?
