Multi-State Matrix
Compliance questions get answered wrong on job sites every day, and the fine comes later. Ask about licensing, OSHA, labor rules, or chemical handling and it answers with cited sources across all 50 states. Treat it as a research head start, not a substitute for counsel.
Instruction
- Enter company name and primary state of operations.
- Set specialty and employee count.
- Optionally describe concerns (chemicals, multi-state, government contracts).
- Generate the prioritized checklist. Work top items first; export PDF for your ops meeting.
Worked example
You ask: 'Do I need a business license to run a janitorial company in Texas, and what OSHA training do my crews need for chemical handling?'
It answers that Texas has no statewide janitorial license but cities may require a general business license, and that OSHA Hazard Communication training plus accessible SDS are required for chemical handling. Each point links to the state and OSHA source so you can verify.
What's under the hood
- Answers cite sources like OSHA standards, DOL guidance, and state agency pages so you can check the primary rule.
- Coverage spans 50 states, but local city and county rules exist below the state level; it points you to check locally.
- It will not invent a citation or a rule. If it is unsure, it says so rather than guessing a statute number.
- Rules change. A cited answer reflects sources as understood; confirm currency before you act on it.
When this breaks
- Acting on the answer without opening the cited source, then discovering a city ordinance the state page did not mention.
- Asking a vague question with no state, which produces a general answer that may not fit your jurisdiction.
- Treating cited research as legal clearance for a high-stakes decision that needs an attorney.
Questions operators ask
- Is this legal advice?
- No. It is cited compliance research. For binding decisions, licensing filings, or disputes, confirm with counsel or the agency directly.
- Why does it always ask for my state?
- Licensing, labor, and even chemical rules vary by state and locality. Without a state, the answer is too general to rely on.
- Can I trust the citations?
- Open them. The tool provides sources so you can verify the primary rule yourself, which is the point of citing at all.
- Does it cover city and county rules?
- It focuses on state and federal sources and flags when local rules likely apply. For city licensing or ordinances, check that jurisdiction directly.
- How current are the answers?
- It reflects its sources, but regulations change. Confirm the rule is still in effect before you rely on it for a filing or a fine-triggering decision.
- What kinds of questions fit best?
- Licensing, OSHA and HazCom, wage and hour, chemical handling, and required training. The more specific your facility and state, the sharper the answer.
- Can it handle OSHA chemical questions specifically?
- Yes. It covers Hazard Communication, SDS access, and PPE basics with citations, which is where many small cleaning companies get cited.
