Technical Manual
The Technical Manual provides technical information and guidance on occupational
safety and health topics. The content is based on currently available
research publications, OSHA standards, and consensus standards. The purpose
of the manual is to assist OSHA Compliance Safety and Health Officers
in hazard recognition and to provide guidance in accident prevention.
It also serves as a source of advice for CSHO's on safety and health issues.
The manual is not a substitute for OSHA standards and is not used for
establishing Agency compliance policies. In the unlikely event of any
inconsistencies between material in the manual and the requirements of
the Occupational Safety and Health Act and the standards and regulations
promulgated thereunder, the latter are controlling. The manual has ten
sections and each section is divided into specific chapters. (See reference
section below for a complete list of sections, chapters, and updates.)
The information herein is valuable in establishing sound safety and health
programs.
The following documents are in the Adobe Acrobat PDF format.
