Product and compliance responsibility stays model-specific.
Product suitability and compliance depend on the selected model, configuration, installation, workplace, and use. Manufacturer statements such as “designed” or “tested to meet” apply only to the documented product and configuration. OSHA does not approve or endorse commercial products. The purchaser and employer remain responsible for site-specific hazard assessment, installation, inspection, maintenance, training, and compliance with applicable requirements.
