Although this is not an official OSHA publication, it reproduces the full text of regulations contained in the official OSHA government version at Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 1926. Also included in this book are Part 1903 regulations governing inspections, citations, and proposed penalties; Part 1904 regulations covering occupational injury and illness recordkeeping and reporting; and Part 1990 carcinogen policy and model standards.

As part of CCH's ongoing efforts to improve the quality of our products, we use a brighter, heavier paper to improve the brightness and quality of the pages. Green highlights emphasizing standard numbers and other important content remain a continuing feature. Sections are tabbed throughout the book; each section includes a full citation line for easy reference; the index is reformatted and includes page numbers; graphics are separated from text by a color border; and the 2004 recordkeeping forms are reproduced. Furthermore, "Appendices" contains the following elements: Standards Interpretation Letters; OSHA Posters: State Plan information; CPL-02-00-124 [CPL-2-0.124] Multi-Employer Citation Policy, and much more. Specific updates to this edition include: Revision of Hexavalent Chromium notification requirements OSHA's position on mandatory flu shots for employees Exposure to radon when working in trenches or excavations Clarification of assigned working hours when recording work-related injuries/illnesses Permissible methods of operating trucks in reverse on construction sites
