Mandatory OSHA Requirements reference row

What this row shows

Mandatory OSHA Requirements is the bottom row on the Safety page inside HQ's Compliance band. It is a reference list, not a per-membership metric. Every other row on Safety reads live data rolled up from your network's memberships (cert counts, open incidents, framework completeness); this row instead surfaces the mandatory-severity slice of Verinode's own OSHA reference catalog, the fixed set of federal safety standards a restoration crew is expected to comply with regardless of which membership is doing the work. It exists so a leadership team scanning Safety can see the actual standards and citations behind the page's numbers without leaving HQ, and so those citations are one click away from the government's own text.

Verinode does not audit a membership against this catalog, does not issue citations, and does not decide whether a membership is compliant. This row is the same reference material for every HQ user; it carries no per-membership figures and no privacy boundary of its own, because it is not built from any operator's data. The rows above it on the same page (Safety Cert Coverage Gaps, Safety Incidents) are where membership-level posture and the network's privacy boundary come into play; see Safety: network safety posture at a glance for how those rows work and hold that boundary.

Where to find it

Open Safety from the HQ sidebar, in the Compliance band alongside Programs, Compliance, and Certifications. Safety is its own full page at hq.verinode.ai/safety, not a tab inside another card slider. Mandatory OSHA Requirements is the last row on the page, directly under PPE Requirements. Scroll to the bottom of Safety to reach it, or use the page's own row navigation if your view exposes one.

What each tile shows

Every mandatory requirement renders as its own tile in a horizontal scroll row, up to twelve tiles wide. Each tile carries:

• A "Mandatory" label in the top-left corner. Every tile in this row carries the same label, since the row is pre-filtered to mandatory-severity requirements only; you will not see "recommended" or "best-practice" tiles here.
• The requirement's plain-language name as the tile's headline, for example "Fall protection for work at 6 feet or higher" or "Confined space entry program."
• The issuing authority as the sub-line underneath the headline. Every requirement in this row is authored by OSHA.
• The citation in the trailing corner of the tile, the specific federal standard number, for example "29 CFR 1926.501." A requirement with no citation on file would show this field blank, though every mandatory safety requirement in the catalog today carries one.

The tile's accent color is the same yellow used across the platform for the "Maintain" signal tone, distinct from the copper accent on the PPE Requirements row above it. That color choice is a visual grouping cue, not a severity gradient within this row: every tile here is equally mandatory.

The full mandatory list

As of this catalog, eleven requirements carry mandatory severity and appear in this row (the row's cap is twelve, so none are cut off today):

| Requirement | Authority | Citation | |---|---|---| | Fall protection for work at 6 feet or higher | OSHA | 29 CFR 1926.501 | | Confined space entry program | OSHA | 29 CFR 1910.146 | | Electrical safety in construction | OSHA | 29 CFR 1926 Subpart K | | Scaffolding safety standards | OSHA | 29 CFR 1926.451 | | Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) program | OSHA | 29 CFR 1910.132 | | Hearing conservation program | OSHA | 29 CFR 1910.95 | | Fire prevention and protection plan | OSHA | 29 CFR 1926.24 | | Ladder safety standards | OSHA | 29 CFR 1926.1053 | | Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures | OSHA | 29 CFR 1910.147 | | First aid and emergency action plan | OSHA | 29 CFR 1926.50 | | Silica exposure control | OSHA | 29 CFR 1926.1153 |

A twelfth safety-category standard, heat illness prevention, sits in Verinode's catalog at "recommended" severity rather than mandatory (OSHA has issued guidance on it but not a codified standard with a 29 CFR citation), so it never appears in this row. It can still surface elsewhere in the catalog if your network's safety program references it.

Citation click-through: how it maps to osha.gov

Clicking a tile in this row opens the standard's canonical page on osha.gov in a new browser tab, when the citation follows the federal 29 CFR pattern. Verinode maps a citation to a URL using a fixed pattern, not a search or a guess:

• A part-and-section citation like "29 CFR 1910.146" or "29 CFR 1926.501" maps directly to osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/<part>/<part>.<section>, for example osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/1910/1910.146.
• A subpart citation like "29 CFR 1926 Subpart K" maps to osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/1926/1926SubpartK.
• A bare part citation like "29 CFR 1926" on its own maps to osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/1926.

Every one of the eleven mandatory requirements in this row carries a citation in one of these three federal shapes, so every tile in this row click-through opens a live osha.gov page.

Empty state

If the catalog held no mandatory-severity requirements, the row would read:

"No mandatory requirements in the reference catalog."

In practice this only happens if Verinode's reference catalog is temporarily empty of safety-category entries; it is not something a membership's data or a network's configuration can cause, since the row draws from the shared catalog rather than from any operator's records.

How to use it

1. 1Use this row as your citation lookup when drafting a network-wide safety bulletin or updating a training module in Programs (/help/hq-programs), so the language you send to memberships matches OSHA's actual standard number rather than a paraphrase.
2. 2Click a tile to pull up the underlying osha.gov text before you cite it in a policy document or an audit conversation with a membership.
3. 3Cross-reference this row against Safety Cert Coverage Gaps and Safety Incidents further up the same page. Those rows tell you which memberships are short on certifications or carrying open risk; this row tells you exactly which federal standard that gap or incident maps back to.
4. 4If a membership's gap traces to a standard not covered by the seven baseline safety certifications (OSHA 10/30/510, First Aid/CPR, Confined Space, Fall Protection, HAZWOPER), use this row to confirm the citation before raising it, since the certification baseline and this reference row are related but not identical: the baseline is about which credentials a person holds, this row is about which standards apply to the work.
