Under 1910.1015, what is the subject of this OSHA standard and where can I read the official text?

The standard at 1910.1015 covers the chemical 4‑Dimethylaminoazobenzene and its regulatory requirements. You can read the official regulatory entry for this chemical at 29 CFR 1910.1015. For broader context within OSHA rules, see the general part at 29 CFR 1910.

Under 1910.1015, does OSHA point me to any other standard for information about carcinogens?

Yes — 1910.1015 directs you to OSHA's carcinogen listing in 1910.1003 for related requirements on certain carcinogens. See 29 CFR 1910.1015 and the referenced 29 CFR 1910.1003 for information about the "13 carcinogens" mentioned in the rule.

Under 1910.1015, is 4‑Dimethylaminoazobenzene treated as one of the carcinogens discussed by OSHA?

Yes — the standard entry for 4‑Dimethylaminoazobenzene points users to OSHA's carcinogen provisions and the list discussed in 1910.1003. Consult 29 CFR 1910.1015 together with 29 CFR 1910.1003 to determine how OSHA treats this substance under its carcinogen rules.

Under 1910.1015, where can I find the Federal Register history and amendments for this standard?

The regulatory entry for 4‑Dimethylaminoazobenzene includes its Federal Register history and amendment dates in the standard's text. See 29 CFR 1910.1015 for the cited Federal Register notices and amendment dates (for example: 39 FR 23502; redesignations and multiple amendment dates listed in the standard).

Under 1910.1015, what should an employer do first to determine compliance obligations for 4‑Dimethylaminoazobenzene?

The employer should review the regulatory text for 4‑Dimethylaminoazobenzene and the related carcinogen requirements in 1910.1003 to identify applicable obligations. Start with 29 CFR 1910.1015 and then consult 29 CFR 1910.1003 for the OSHA framework on the listed carcinogens referenced by the rule.

Under 1910.1015, if I need the official codified source used by OSHA for the standard text, where is it taken from?

The codified source referenced in 1910.1015 is the electronic Code of Federal Regulations (e‑CFR). The standard notes the "GPO Source: e‑CFR," so use 29 CFR 1910.1015 for the OSHA entry and access the e‑CFR for the official codified language when needed.

Under 1910.1015, who should I contact or consult if I need interpretive guidance on how the standard applies in a specific workplace?

For specific interpretive guidance, consult the OSHA standard itself and, when necessary, request a formal interpretation or contact OSHA regional offices. Begin with the governing requirements at 29 CFR 1910.1015 and the related carcinogen rule at 29 CFR 1910.1003; for situation‑specific questions you can request an OSHA letter of interpretation or contact your OSHA regional office listed on OSHA's website.

Under 1910.1015, does the standard list specific worker protections or procedures for 4‑Dimethylaminoazobenzene within the entry itself?

No — the entry for 4‑Dimethylaminoazobenzene in 1910.1015 is a titled regulatory listing that refers you to broader carcinogen requirements rather than listing full procedural controls within the short entry. For applicable protections and procedures, review the cross‑reference to 29 CFR 1910.1003 and any other OSHA standards that govern exposure controls, labeling, and employee protections under 29 CFR 1910.

Under 1910.1015, can the history of amendments shown in the standard affect how I interpret employer duties today?

Yes — the amendment and redesignation history listed in the 1910.1015 entry shows how the regulation has changed over time and helps confirm which version is currently in force. Review the current text at 29 CFR 1910.1015 and consult the Federal Register citations included there to track historical changes when determining present‑day obligations.

Under 1910.1015, where does OSHA explicitly tell me to look for the list of the 13 carcinogens referenced?

OSHA explicitly directs you to 29 CFR 1910.1003 when it refers to the "13 carcinogens" in the 1910.1015 entry for 4‑Dimethylaminoazobenzene. Consult 1910.1003 for the enumerated carcinogen guidance and how it applies.

Under 1910.1015, is 4‑Dimethylaminoazobenzene part of OSHA Subpart Z (Toxic and Hazardous Substances)?

Yes — the standard for 4‑Dimethylaminoazobenzene is published under 29 CFR Part 1910, Subpart Z, which covers Toxic and Hazardous Substances. See 29 CFR 1910 and the specific entry at 29 CFR 1910.1015.

Under 1910.1015, if I need regulatory context for other toxic substances beyond 4‑Dimethylaminoazobenzene, where should I look?

For other toxic and hazardous substance rules and context beyond this single listing, consult the entire Subpart Z of 29 CFR Part 1910 and other numbered sections such as 29 CFR 1910.1003 that address carcinogens and related regulatory frameworks.
