Answer to Question 1

OSHA's goals for the new record-keeping and reporting system were as follows:
 Simplify all aspects of the process
 Improve the quality of records
 Meet the needs of a broad base of stakeholders
 Improve access for employees
 Minimize the regulatory burden
 Reduce vaguenessgive clear guidance
 Promote the use of data from the new system in local safety and health programs

Answer to Question 2

After a standard has been passed, it becomes effective on the date prescribed. This is not necessarily the final step in the appeals process, however. A standard, either permanent or temporary, may be appealed by any person who is opposed to it.
An appeal must be filed with the U.S. Court of Appeals serving the geographic region in which the complainant lives or does business. Appeal paperwork must be initiated within 60 days of a standard's approval. However, the filing of one or more appeals does not delay the enforcement of a standard unless the court of appeals handling the matter mandates a delay. Typically, the new standard is enforced as passed until a ruling on the appeal is handed down.
Occasionally, an employer may be unable to comply with a new standard by the effective date of enforcement. In such cases, the employer may petition OSHA at the state or federal level for a variance.
