For ensuring safety compliance, which plays the central role: MOS or Regs?

Safety compliance hinges on the regulations because they establish the mandatory obligations and the legal framework that must be met. The Manual of Standards (MOS) translates those regulations into practical, detailed criteria and procedures that help you achieve compliance. It guides you on how to apply the rules, but it isn’t the enforceable rule on its own unless the MOS is referenced by the regulations. So the central instrument is the Regulation itself. (FAR is a US set of rules and not the central instrument in this context.)
