OSHA publishes Letters of Interpretation and enforcement guidance that explain and clarify standards; consult the official standard at 1910.1006 and search OSHA's interpretation letters for related guidance. Remember that interpretation letters explain requirements but do not create new obligations, as emphasized in OSHA interpretation practice (for example, see the asbestos interpretation letter at https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/standardinterpretations/2024-11-14 for how OSHA uses letters to explain standards).

OSHA enforces the standard as part of 29 CFR Part 1910 (general industry standards); enforcement responsibility for federal OSHA-covered workplaces rests with OSHA regional offices under Part 1910 and the specific rule at 1910.1006.

Cite the regulation as 29 CFR 1910.1006, "Methyl chloromethyl ether," and include the online regulatory reference 1910.1006 so reviewers can access the official text. For cross-reference to carcinogen listings, also cite 1910.1003 where applicable.

You must consult the complete regulatory language and any related guidance; start by reading 1910.1006 and the referenced carcinogen listing at 1910.1003.
