This informational booklet provides a general overview of a particular topic related to
OSHA standards. It does not alter or determine
compliance responsibilities in
OSHA standards or the
Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. Because interpretations and enforcement policy may change over time, you should consult current OSHA administrative interpretations and decisions by the
Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission and the Courts for additional guidance on OSHA
compliance requirements.
