OSHA Designated Hazardous Chemicals
According to the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard (1910.1200), a hazard determination must consider the chemicals listed in the following sources to be hazardous:
- Chemicals regulated by OSHA in 29 CFR Part 1910, Subpart Z.
- Threshold Limit Values for Chemical Substances and Physical Agents in the Work Environment, American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (latest edition).
- National Toxicology Program, Annual Report on Carcinogens (latest edition).
- International Agency for Research on Cancer Monographs (latest edition).
The substances found in the above sources (December 1990) have been compiled in Appendix L.
The fact that a chemical is not listed does not mean it is not hazardous. Any chemical that presents a potential health or physical hazard to which employees may be exposed must be included in the hazard communication program.
