Editorial Policy
How SafetyRegulatory.com researches, writes, and reviews workplace safety content. Our commitment to accuracy and transparency.
Our Standards
SafetyRegulatory.com is committed to providing accurate, well-sourced information about workplace safety certifications, training, and careers. Here’s how we do it.
Sources We Use
All content on this site is researched using authoritative, official sources:
- OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) Federal regulations, standards, enforcement data, and compliance guidance at osha.gov
- Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Salary data, employment projections, and occupational statistics from the Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) program
- NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) Research publications, best practices, and workplace safety recommendations
- State OSHA Plan Agencies State-specific regulatory requirements from the 22 states and territories operating their own OSHA-approved plans
- CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) Specific regulatory citations referenced by title and section (e.g., 29 CFR 1910.146 for Confined Space)
We do not rely on forums, user-generated content, or unverified claims as primary sources.
How We Write
Our editorial team researches each topic by reviewing current OSHA standards, BLS data releases, and state regulatory agency publications. Content is written to be accurate, actionable, and accessible to workers at all experience levels.
We write at a practitioner level. We don’t explain what OSHA is in every article. But we make sure technical content is clear enough for someone new to the field to understand and act on.
How We Stay Current
Safety regulations and training requirements change. We monitor OSHA rulemaking, BLS data releases, and state agency updates to keep our content accurate. Pages include a “Last Updated” date so you know when the information was last reviewed.
Corrections
If you find an error or outdated information on our site, please contact us. We take corrections seriously and will update content promptly when verified.
Independence
SafetyRegulatory.com is an independent educational resource. We are not affiliated with OSHA, any state regulatory agency, or any specific training provider. Our content recommendations are based on publicly available information and official requirements, not paid placements.
When we recommend training providers or include affiliate links in the future, those relationships will be clearly disclosed on the relevant pages.
What We Don’t Do
- We don’t provide legal advice. Always consult your employer, union, or attorney for specific compliance questions.
- We don’t issue or sell certifications. We provide information about how to get them.
- We don’t guarantee employment outcomes. Salary data reflects statistical averages from BLS, not promises.
