Dear Mr. Whitman:

This is in response to your letter of February 29, in which you asked for a letter of exemption from OSHA reg 1910.27 for your conveyor crossover stile. You were concerned because one of your customers was cited by an OSHA inspector in Indiana for violation of this standard while utilizing your product.
