Idaho Admin. Code r. 24.39.80.011 - INTERPRETATION AND APPLICATION OF THESE RULES
01.
Scope. These rules are part of the state of Idaho industrial
accident prevention program and have the full force and effect of law.
(3-31-22)
02.
Jurisdiction. In accordance with the laws of the state of Idaho,
every employer and every employee working in the state of Idaho shall comply
with the rules contained herein. (3-31-22)
03.
Enforcement. The enforcement
of all rules of this chapter and the right of inspection and examination, at
any time, shall rest with the Division. (3-31-22)
04.
Issues Not Covered. Where
specific standards in these rules fail to provide a rule or standard applicable
to the operation in question, and other state of Idaho codes or standards are
applicable, those codes or standards shall apply. (3-31-22)
05.
Interpretations. Should any
controversy develop as to the intent or application of any standard or rule as
set forth in these rules, or the interpretation of any standard or rule set
forth in these rules, such controversy shall be called to the direct attention
of the Division, which shall render a decision as the applicability of such
rule or standard. Any appeal from this decision shall be directed to the
Administrator. (3-31-22)
06.
Additional Standards. It is recognized that a definite, positive
safety standard cannot anticipate all contingencies. The Division, after due
notice and opportunity to be heard, may require additional standards and
practices to insure adequate safety at any place of any employment, and, on its
own motion or upon application of any employer, employee, group, or
organization, may modify any provision of this rule. (3-31-22)
07.
Exceptions. In exceptional
cases where the rigid application or compliance with a requirement can only be
accomplished to the detriment and serious disadvantage of an operation, method,
or process, exception to the requirement will be considered upon written
application to the Division. After thorough investigation, the Division may
grant an exception if human life and physical well being will not be endangered
by such exception. (3-31-22)
08.
Existing Buildings, Structures, and Equipment . Nothing contained
in this rule for logging safety shall prevent the use of existing buildings,
structures, and equipment during their lifetime when maintained in good safe
condition, and properly safeguarded, or require conformance with the applicable
safety standards required by Idaho Safety Codes effective prior to the
effective date of this rule, provided that replacements and alterations shall
conform with all provisions of these rules. (3-31-22)
