Driver training and seat belt use.
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. Speakman:
Thank you for your letter of July 23, concerning driver training and seat belt use. You wanted to know to what extent the proposed rule on Occupant Protection in Motor Vehicles, published in the Federal Register on July 12, would affect your members.
