End dump trucks on jobsites or public highways
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. Mayhall:
This is in response to your July 3, 1991, request for clarification of whether the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) regulations addressing motor vehicles apply to end dump trucks operating on jobsites and on public highways between jobsites. We apologize for the delay in responding to your inquiry.
