Plain-English summary

The Commission vacated its direction for review in these consolidated cases. It explained that the issue had been raised by a Commissioner rather than by the parties and had not been tried or argued. The issue concerned publication policy, which the Commission held was not an adjudicative question under the Occupational Safety and Health Act. The release does not identify any cited standard, underlying disposition, or penalty.

Decision snapshot

  • Cited standard(s): Not identified in the Commission release
  • Outcome: The direction for Commission review was vacated.
  • Key point: A publication-policy question not raised, tried, or argued by the parties is not an issue for Commission adjudication.
