From this page you will find links to OSHA-related resources designed to help you unravel the massive amount of government codes that make up both the federal and state levels of OSHA.

Remember, only specific sections of the federal code has been used to write exam questions.  It covers every trade and every industry.  For example, if you're doing plumbing work, why would you need to know about explosives safety?

If you're taking an exam administered by PSI and the bulletin only lists the PSI “excerpts” version of “29 CFR Part 1926”, you'll have to use the PSI proprietary book.  In most cases, this book can be taken into an exam location.  Read your exam bulletin CAREFULLY.  You can purchase the PSI book by clicking on the PSI Logo below.

In some newer PSI bulletins, a more up-to-date version of the federal code published by MANCOMM.com is recommended.  A direct link to the book purchase page is shown below.  The MANCOMM.com version is preferred becaue it is kept up-to-date where the PSI version is at least ten years old.  The MANCOMM.com version can be used as a daily “on-site” reference.  The PSI version can only be used for taking a PSI exam.  If you order the PSI version from their web site, you'll find that you're overcharged for shipping and delivery is slow.  You should allow at leat three weeks delivery time.

MANCOMM.com offers three versions of bindings; three-ring (loose leaf), spiral (lay flat) and paperback.  Note that if the OSHA printed code (CFR 1926) is allowed in an exam, any three-ring “loose leaf” copies may be confiscated.
