When.trying.to.make.use.of.the.regulations,.having.knowledge.of.the.regulatory.
numbering.system.will.help.avoid.a.lot.of.the.headaches..This.should.make.the.regu-
lation. easier. to. comprehend. and. more. user. friendly.. The. following. illustrates. and.
explains.the.numbering.system.using.an.example.from.the.29.CFR.1910.110:

As.can.be.seen.from.this.example,.the.irst.number.(“29”).stands.for.the.title..Next.
in.sequence.is.“CFR,”.which.of.course.stands.for.the.Code.of.Federal.Regulations,.
followed.by.“1910,”.which.is.the.part.and.“H”.the.subpart.as.all.subparts.are.alpha-
betically. lettered. in. 1910.. Finally,. there. is. a. period. that. is. followed. by. an. Arabic.
.number.. This. will. always. be. the. section. number.. In. this. case,. Section. .110. is. the.
storage.and.handling.of.liqueied.petroleum.gases.standard..If.the.number.had.been.
.146,.the.section.would.pertain.to.permit-required.conined.spaces.
