It's not in effect yet, starting september. Now I know absolutely nothing about US law, but can't OSHA itself fight this?

OSHA is really, really, really underfunded, to the point most OSHA complaints go uninvestigated, iirc.

That's a thing about these laws. Fighting them isn't as quick as passing them. I would hope it's thrown out, but people will die in the meantime.
