What you'll accomplish
You'll be able to understand what a specific OSHA standard requires for your exact situation in 15–20 minutes instead of spending 2–3 hours reading dense regulatory text and trying to piece together how it applies to your facility. Claude is particularly good at this because it handles very long documents and complex regulatory cross-references well.

How-To Guide: OSHA Regulatory Research with Claude
Step 1: Define your specific question precisely
The difference between a useful and useless regulatory research session is how precisely you define the question. Don't ask "what does OSHA say about confined spaces?" Instead, ask "My facility has 8 permit-required confined spaces. Three of them are tanks that we enter annually for cleaning. What specific written program elements, pre-entry requirements, and training frequencies does OSHA 1910.146 require?"
