Subpart Z
Yes — bis‑Chloromethyl ether is identified by OSHA under the bis‑Chloromethyl ether entry in 29 CFR 1910.1008 and is referenced as one of OSHA’s regulated carcinogens. See 29 CFR 1910.1008 and the cross‑reference to the list of carcinogens in 29 CFR 1910.1003.
Read the official OSHA regulatory citation for bis‑Chloromethyl ether at the OSHA standard page 29 CFR 1910.1008. The section also references the broader carcinogen listing in 29 CFR 1910.1003.
Bis‑Chloromethyl ether is covered in OSHA’s general industry regulations under Part 1910, Subpart Z (Toxic and Hazardous Substances) at 29 CFR 1910.1008. For the Part heading see 29 CFR 1910.
No — the provided 1910.1008 entry itself does not include a numeric PEL in the text you were given. The citation directs readers to the carcinogen listing in 29 CFR 1910.1003, and you should consult applicable exposure limit tables in Part 1910 (or any specific OSHA substance tables) for numerical limits if present. See 29 CFR 1910 for where exposure limits and tables are published.
It indicates that bis‑Chloromethyl ether is associated with OSHA’s set of 13 named carcinogens and that you should consult the carcinogen listing at 29 CFR 1910.1003 for related regulatory context. The 1910.1008 entry names the substance and points you to the broader carcinogen framework in 1910.1003.
First, the employer should treat bis‑Chloromethyl ether as a regulated carcinogen and consult the OSHA citation 29 CFR 1910.1008 and the carcinogen listing in 29 CFR 1910.1003 to identify applicable requirements.
The citation places bis‑Chloromethyl ether in 29 CFR Part 1910 Subpart Z, which applies to general industry; it does not by itself create construction (29 CFR Part 1926) coverage. See 29 CFR 1910.1008 and the Part 1910 table at 29 CFR 1910. If work is construction‑type, consult the construction standards or applicable state plan requirements.
No — the provided 1910.1008 entry in this document only names bis‑Chloromethyl ether and refers you to 29 CFR 1910.1003 for the carcinogen context; it does not itself include detailed definitions or scope language in the excerpt you have. See 29 CFR 1910.1008 for the official citation and consult associated sections in Part 1910 for definitions.
The GPO/e‑CFR source for the standard is the electronic Code of Federal Regulations link included in the entry; you can follow the e‑CFR reference from the 1910.1008 page at 29 CFR 1910.1008 which shows the GPO source (e‑CFR).
Yes — the 1910.1008 entry includes a recorded amendment and Federal Register history listing the notices and dates of redesignation and amendments (for example, 39 FR 23502, June 27, 1974, and subsequent entries through 61 FR 9227, March 7, 1996). See 29 CFR 1910.1008 for the full amendment history included in the section.
Thirteen — the section specifically tells readers to “See 1910.1003, 13 carcinogens,” indicating that 1910.1003 lists 13 carcinogens. See 29 CFR 1910.1003 and 29 CFR 1910.1008.
No — the short 1910.1008 entry names the substance but is not a complete compliance program; employers must consult the full OSHA requirements in Part 1910 and related sections such as the carcinogen listing at 29 CFR 1910.1003 to determine specific obligations (monitoring, exposure controls, medical surveillance, recordkeeping) that apply. See 29 CFR 1910 for related standards.
No — the 1910.1008 entry itself is a naming/reference entry pointing to the carcinogen framework and does not by itself create additional obligations beyond those established in the applicable OSHA standards; employers must follow the substantive requirements found in 29 CFR 1910.1003 and other relevant Part 1910 provisions. See 29 CFR 1910.1008 and 29 CFR 1910 for context.
Employers in OSHA‑approved state plan states must follow the state plan’s rules, which must be at least as effective as Federal OSHA’s; a state plan may have different or more stringent provisions than the federal 29 CFR 1910.1008. See 29 CFR 1910 for the federal Part 1910 framework — check your state plan for any variations.
If you need clarification, consult the OSHA standard pages 29 CFR 1910.1008 and 29 CFR 1910.1003 and then contact your regional OSHA office or your state plan OSHA office for specific enforcement and compliance guidance. See 29 CFR 1910 for links to OSHA resources.
