Ramps: guarding and means of access to a higher elevation.
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 [Name Withheld]:
This is in response to your letter of November 25, 1995, inquiring about the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) publications "... or list of rules that govern the laying down and safety requirements of concrete ramps," at the entrances of buildings. We apologize for the delay in responding to your request.
