beta-Naphthylamine requirements

Yes. Beta‑Naphthylamine is addressed under OSHA’s beta‑Naphthylamine rule 1910.1009 and is referenced in connection with OSHA’s compilation of carcinogens in 1910.1003, which identifies the group of 13 carcinogens.

Read the standard text at OSHA’s official rule page 1910.1009. For broader context within general industry toxic substance rules, you can also consult the general Part 1910 index at 1910.

Yes. The beta‑Naphthylamine rule is part of OSHA’s general industry rules in 29 CFR Part 1910 and appears under Subpart Z (Toxic and Hazardous Substances) — see 1910.1009 and the Part 1910 index at 1910.

Yes. The standard explicitly references OSHA’s list of carcinogens in 1910.1003, so employers should review 1910.1003 along with 1910.1009 to understand how beta‑Naphthylamine is classified and any cross‑references that apply.

The standard page for 1910.1009 includes its Federal Register history and amendment dates (for example, notices from 1974 through 1996 are listed on that page). Reviewing 1910.1009 will show the official FR citations and amendment chronology.

Yes — OSHA Letters of Interpretation can help explain how OSHA applies standards in specific situations, but they do not create new legal obligations. OSHA consistently notes in its letters (for example, Asbestos remediation protocols) that interpretation letters explain requirements and how they apply but do not expand employer duties beyond the standards themselves. For practical questions about applying 1910.1009, you can consult relevant interpretation letters for guidance alongside the standard.

Follow your State Plan if it has one and it is more stringent; State Plans must be at least as effective as federal OSHA but may impose stricter requirements. OSHA letters (for example, the Scope of rim wheel servicing) explain that employers in State Plan states must follow their State’s requirements when those requirements are more stringent than federal rules. You should compare 1910.1009 with your State Plan rules.

Contact OSHA’s Directorate of Enforcement Programs or the Office that handles general industry enforcement for clarification; OSHA’s interpretation letters routinely direct inquiries to those offices (see the closing contact reference in the Head protection for crane operators letter). You should reference 1910.1009 when requesting clarification.

No. The regulatory text in 1910.1009 establishes the duties that apply for beta‑Naphthylamine; OSHA interpretation letters clarify how those duties apply but do not create additional obligations. OSHA letters repeatedly state they explain requirements and how they apply but cannot create new employer obligations (see Asbestos remediation protocols).

Use the official citation 29 CFR 1910.1009 and link or reference the OSHA standard page 1910.1009 in your documents so employees and auditors can read the rule. For broader context, you can also reference the Part 1910 index at 1910.

Yes. OSHA’s regulatory framework identifies carcinogens through rules such as 1910.1003, and 1910.1009 cross‑references that list of carcinogens. Consult both 1910.1009 and 1910.1003 for authoritative identification.
