OSH ACT AND OSHA STANDARDS

Standards - Where to Get Copies of the Standards

Each year, the Office of Federal Register publishes all current regulations and standards in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). OSHA's regulations are collected in Title 29 of the CFR, Part 1900-1999. OSHA regulations can be found via the internet at the OSHA Web site.

OSHA regulations and other information are collected on a CD-ROM entitled, "OSHA Regulations, Documents & Technical Information on CD-ROM". Topics on the CD include: interpretation of standards, Federal Register Index, fact sheets, directives, field operations manual. The OSHA CD-ROM is available from the Superintendent of Documents, not from OSHA or from the Department of Labor. Yearly subscription prices for including quarterly updates, can be obtained from the GPO.

Since states adopt and enforce their own standards under state law, copies of state standards may be obtained from the individual states.

Only the "Federal Register" can be used as the official source for OSHA regulations.
