Answer to Question 1

No. The Court stated that Congress itself in Section 6(b)(5) defined the basic relationship between costs and benefits by placing the benefit of worker health above all other considerations save those making attainment of this benefit unachievable. Section 6(b)(5) requires the Secretary of Labor to impose a standard which most adequately assures, to the extent feasible, on the basis of the best available evidence, that no employee will suffer material impairment of health..
