It’s very painful. I actually had to wear an arm brace for weeks. It’s much more painful than I ever thought. I still get flare-ups.” Steedley said working on a com puter for years has also affected her vi sion. “My vision has gotten so much worse since I’ve been on a computer. Most definitely, I think the standards are a good thing,” Steedley said. Carl Maddox, a health standards of ficer with the South Carolina OSHA I Standards Office, explained the details of the new rules. The final ruling on the standard came out Tuesday and will be effective be ginning Jan. 16, 2001, Maddox said. “This means that the standards are out and in effect. The compliance date is Oct. 15, 2001. South Carolina has six months from Tuesday, the day-it appeared in the federal register, to adopt it verbatim or come up with a rule that’s as effective. But 99 percent of the time you adopt standards verbatim.” Maddox went on to say the imple mentation of the standard could be delayed by legal processes. “Lawsuits are being filed now, though, that could change the start date. A stay could be put on it,” he said. AFL-CIO President John Sweeney said on the company’s Web site that the standard “is the most important work er safety action developed” in OSHA’s history. According to an Associated Press report, the standards would cost busi nesses $4.5 billion to implement, but would save $9.1 billion annually from workers’ compensation and medical costs. The report went' on to say that many big businesses dispute these fig ures and fear the new standards could cost more than $90 billion annually. “We do not believe that there is an adequate scientific basis that meets the statutory requirement, and we believe it is unconstitutionally vague,” said Stephen Bokat, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce senior vice president and general counsel. According to the Associated Press, Bokat said Saturday that the group will seek to overturn the standard in court. The city/state desk can be reached at gamecockcitydesk@hotmail.com.
