How CrewCompliance uses regulatory sources
CrewCompliance is built around publicly available OSHA and state-plan regulatory materials, then shaped into practical written programs for contractors. The goal is simple: make the safety documentation a contractor actually needs easier to produce, easier to understand, and easier to keep current.
Current status: CrewCompliance is actively auditing state and trade templates. We avoid claiming every public page is a final legal determination. When a page or template is updated, we track the source and review context behind the change.
Primary source categories we track
- Federal OSHA construction standards — 29 CFR Part 1926.
- Federal OSHA general industry standards — hazard communication, respiratory protection, lockout/tagout, recordkeeping, and PPE.
- State-plan OSHA agencies — Cal/OSHA, Oregon OSHA, Washington L&I/DOSH, Nevada OSHA, Minnesota OSHA, Virginia DOLI, North Carolina OSH, and the other 14 state-plan programs.
- State penalty tables & agency guidance — citation maximums, consultation resources, and construction safety publications where relevant.
- Prequalification requirements — GCs, insurers, ISNetworld, Avetta, Veriforce, and compliance portals where they affect document structure.
What gets reviewed before templates ship
- State agency identity and jurisdiction are checked.
- State-specific standards are compared against federal OSHA baseline language.
- Trade hazards are reviewed for relevance instead of copying generic construction text everywhere.
- Common document defects are checked — wrong-state contamination, missing required sections, stale citation language, placeholder leakage, and confusing applicability claims.
- Generated samples are reviewed for readability and practical contractor use.

What this page does not claim
This page is intentionally conservative. It does not claim CrewCompliance replaces legal counsel, regulator consultation, or a site-specific competent-person review. It explains how we use source material, what we track, and how we keep the system honest as template audits continue.
