A compliance answer without a citation is an opinion; naming 1910.253(b) gives you something to verify and something to put in a corrective-action record. That is what makes this usable in a walkthrough where the question comes up in front of the equipment. Read it as a first pass, not a ruling — the project itself is explicit that this is AI-generated guidance and no substitute for official OSHA publications or a certified inspection.
A compliance lookup service for OSHA General Industry standards, reached through one MCP tool. You describe a scenario in plain language; it answers with a verdict, the regulation section it rests on, and what to do about it — rather than handing back a document to read.
- A single tool taking one `scenario` string — the workplace situation or safety question, however you would phrase it out loud — `compliance_check`
- A verdict rather than a summary: yes or no, followed by the cited section, three bullet points of specific requirements, and corrective actions where they apply
- Coverage across 29 CFR 1910 General Industry: guardrails and fall protection, portable ladders, exit routes, noise and hearing conservation, eye, face and head protection, lockout/tagout, fire extinguishers, forklifts, machine guarding, grinders, compressed air, oxygen and fuel cylinders, electrical safety, hazard communication, and the General Duty Clause
- Citations precise enough to look up — answers name sections such as 1910.23 for guardrails, 1910.147 for lockout/tagout or 1910.1200 for hazard communication, not the standard as a whole
