OSHA requirements are set by statute, standards, and regulations.

Our
interpretation letters explain these requirements and how they apply to
particular circumstances, but they cannot create additional employer
obligations. Each letter constitutes OSHA's interpretation of the requirements
discussed. Note that our enforcement guidance may be affected by changes
to OSHA rules. Also, from time to time we update our guidance in response to
new information.
