An explanation of the hazard it is designed to control.

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. Andree:

Thank you for your letter of June 6, requesting confirmation that 1910.107(b)(6) is, in fact, an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirement and, if so, an explanation of the hazard it is designed to control.
