002 Support - OSHA Basics: Marketing using Vertical and Horizontal Standards
Vertical and Horizontal Standards
Most OSHA standards are horizontal standards. That means they apply to all employers in any industry. Some OSHA standards, however, are vertical standards. This means they apply to just a specific industry.
Horizontal Standards
Horizontal standards are the OSHA standards that apply to most workplaces.
Examples of horizontal standards include:
Fire Protection (1910 Subpart L)
Hazard Communication (1910 1200)
Vertical Standards
Vertical standards apply to specific industries or to particular operations, practices, conditions, processes, means, methods, equipment, or installations.
Examples of OSHA vertical standards include:
OSHA’s 1926 Construction Standards
OSHA’s 1915 Shipyard Standards
The OSHA 1910 Subpart R Special Industries Regulations for pulp, paper, and paperboard mills; for textiles; for sawmills; and for other industries
When OSHA has a vertical standard that applies to a particular industry (or employer in that industry), then that standard takes precedence over any horizontal standard.
