Does the Occupational Safety and Health Act require the Secretary of Labor, in promulgating a standard pursuant to Section 6(b)(5), to determine that the costs of the standard bear a reasonable relationship to its benefits?
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.".
