Requirements relative to the use of anhydrous ammonia in Diazo Reproduction machines.
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. Seeman:
This is in response to your letter of September 16, concerning your desire for a directive which would clarify the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements relative to the use of anhydrous ammonia in Diazo Reproduction machines. An OSHA directive is unnecessary, since this letter clarifies the situation and provides an official interpretation relative to the matter.
