(a)Citing decisions by Commission and Judges---(1) Generally. Parties citing decisions by the Commission should include in the citation the name of the employer, the OSHRC docket number, the year of the decision, and a citation to a print or electronic reference source. Citations to Commission and ALJ decisions published on the Commission's website (www.oshrc.gov) are also accepted. For example,
(i)Print:
(A)Hackensack Steel Corp., 20 BNA OSHC 1387, 1388 (No. 97-0755, 2003).
(B)Hackensack Steel Corp., 2002-2004 CCH OSHD ¶ 32,690, p. 51,558 (No. 97-0755, 2003).
(ii)Electronic:
(A)Hackensack Steel Corp., No. 97-0755, 2003 WL 22232017, at \*4 (OSHRC Sept. 25, 2003).
(B)Hackensack Steel Corp., No. 97-0755, 2003 LEXIS 450392, at \*2 (OSHRC Sept. 25, 2003).
(iii)Commission website (www.oshrc.gov):
(A)PDF versions of cases should be cited as follows and identify the relevant page number: Jacobs Field Servs. N. Am., No. 10-2659, at 5 (OSHRC 2015).
(B)HTML versions of cases should be cited as follows and identify the relevant paragraph number: Jacobs Field Servs. N. Am., No. 10-2659, at ¶ 9 (OSHRC 2015).
(2)Parenthetical statements. When citing the decision of a Judge, the digest of an opinion, or the opinion of a single Commissioner, a parenthetical statement identifying that the decision is non-precedential (e.g. "ALJ") must be included. For example, Rust Engineering Co., 1984 CCH OSHD ¶ 27,023 (No.79-2090, 1984) (view of Chairman \_\_\_\_\_\_), vacating direction for review of 1980 CCH OSHD ¶ 24,269
(ALJ)(digest).
(b)References to court decisions.
(1)Citation to court decisions should be to the official reporter whenever possible. For example:
(i)W.G. Yates Sons Constr. Co. v. OSHRC, 459 F.3d 604, 608-09 (5th Cir. 2006).
(ii)Martin v. OSHRC (CF I Steel Corp.), 499 U.S. 144, 150-51 (1991).
(2)Name of employer to be indicated. When a court decision is cited in which the first-listed party on each side is either the Secretary of Labor (or the name of a particular Secretary of Labor), the Commission, or a labor union, the citation should include in parenthesis the name of the employer in the Commission proceeding. For example, Donovan v. Allied Industrial Workers (Archer Daniels Midland Co.), 760 F.2d 783 (7th Cir. 1985); Donovan v. OSHRC (Mobil Oil Corp.), 713 F. 2d 918 (2d Cir. 1983).
