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. This 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. To keep apprised of such developments, you can consult OSHA's website at https://www.osha.gov.

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.
