About Complyant

Complyant is a structured OSHA compliance reference for US-based operations, EHS, and safety management teams. We translate federal workplace safety regulations into plain-English answers, organized by industry, CFR standard, and state plan.

What we do

Most compliance questions don't have a clean answer path. OSHA.gov publishes the authoritative text of every standard, but operations managers rarely need the full 29 CFR — they need to know: "What specifically must my [manufacturing plant] in [Michigan] do to comply with [1910.147]?"

Complyant maps that question to its answer. Each page on this site resolves one specific regulatory question for one specific industry, pulling from:

29 CFR 1910 (General Industry)
29 CFR 1926 (Construction)
State plan variations (22 states with OSHA-approved plans)
Current penalty schedules published by OSHA annually

What we don't do

We do not provide legal advice, formal safety consulting, or certification. The content on this site is a regulatory reference — accurate, current, and citation-linked — intended to help you identify your compliance obligations and ask the right follow-up questions of a qualified safety professional.

For binding regulatory interpretation, always consult OSHA directly, a licensed safety consultant, or compliance counsel.

Why programmatic reference, not editorial

Industrial safety regulations cover thousands of standard × industry × state combinations. A human editorial team cannot cover this ground at useful depth. We use automated regulatory data pipelines (OSHA inspection records, CFR text, state plan registries) to generate structured reference pages at scale, then review them for accuracy.

This approach follows the same model as legal reference databases (Westlaw, Lexis) and medical reference sites — structured, data-driven, and maintained by cross-referencing primary sources rather than opinion writing.
