Apparently administrative agencies now have authority to use their discretion beyond any legitimate implication of the statute granting authority.

If that's what the ruling says, it's prima facie unconstitutional as even the Presidency has no such authority, let alone any subsidiary agency.

If they mean the statute itself is so broadly worded that it covers any conceivable danger even without any nexus to conditions of employment in the workplace, then the statute itself is unconstitutional for granting legislative powers to agencies that can only be exercised by Congress.

Hear, hear! How is the constitution to be enforced? Sadly, that’s a valid question today.

If OSHA has such power, why don't the rules apply to ALL workers, regardless of the size of the company. Can you imagine if radioactive waste was allowed to be handled by workers without PPE because the workers were employed by a company that had less than 100 people? What is wrong with these idiots?
