OSHA Citation & Interpretation Viewer

Highlights regulatory citations on webpages and embeds standard interpretations directly on OSHA standard pages.

Highlight regulatory citations on any webpage and view official letters of interpretation directly on osha.gov. OSHA Citation & Interpretation Viewer is a utility extension designed for EHS professionals, safety managers, and compliance officers. It reduces the need for manual cross-referencing by rendering regulatory text and interpretation letters directly within your active browser tab. Features * Embedded Interpretations on osha.gov: Detects matches between standard paragraphs on official OSHA pages and a bundled index of Letters of Interpretation. Click the envelope icon next to a paragraph to read the corresponding guidance in a sidebar. * Citation Identification: Scans text nodes on loaded webpages for standard CFR patterns (e.g., "29 CFR 1910.134"). Detected citations are styled as active links; clicking them fetches and displays the relevant regulation text in a sidebar. * CORS-Compliant Fetching: Uses a background service worker to query the eCFR.gov API and load regulation text on demand. Benefits * Minimize Tab Switching: View referenced standards and official interpretations without navigating away from your active page. * Streamlined Document Scanning: Instantly identify regulatory cross-references in dense technical text.
