Participation of Federal employee representatives in OSHA proceedings at which there are discussions of hazard abatement.

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.

Your letter of January 28 requesting party status for exclusive representation in Federal sector Occupation Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) proceedings is an issue that has been discussed for some time.
