United States Fourth Circuit
Steel Erectors Association of Am. v. Occupational Safety and Health Admin., 09-2319
Petition for review of an OSHA ruling is dismissed where the court lacks jurisdiction to hear the matter, as a 2010 directive stating that violations of certain standards would be considered de minimis, and would therefore carry no penalty, if employers took different precautionary measures, is more accurately viewed as a description of the agency's new enforcement policy and not a "standard", which would permit review.
