Did SCOTUS cut the legs from OSHA?

I have been thinking about the strike down of the vaccine mandate by OSHA and it has me worried that we will see employers starting to sue OSHA about safety rules they don't like. I worry this ruling has weakened OSHA. Am I wrong?

The decision was about whether the vaccine mandate was proper under emergency rule-making procedures.

Nothing has changed in OSHA rule making. And their rules are almost always upheld by courts. Normal OSHA rule making takes years. So Biden told them to use their emergency powers. The trouble is when OSHA has done this in the past they have lost in court most of the time. And they lost this time also.
