I'm not sure who you talked to at OSHA, but as large a bureaucracy as they are, it's not surprising that they didn't have a clue. In my dealings with them in the past (defending their inquisitions) they did not impress. Their typical MO was to investigate wild claims by disgruntled employees, pass judgement using half the facts and less than half of their wits, initiate punitive action, and fold up like a lawn chair when our HSE people read them their own rules chapter and verse. I'm sure not all in the organization are that way, but I'm just saying.....
I'd stick with the Industrial Ventilation Guide from ACGIH. Use their work as a starting point.
