2-Acetylaminofluorene requirements

The requirements for 2-Acetylaminofluorene in shipyard employment are identical to those in the general industry standard 1910.1003. See 1915.1014 which explicitly states that the shipyard requirements mirror 1910.1003.

Follow the detailed requirements contained in the general industry rule 1910.1003, because 1915.1014 makes the shipyard rule identical to that text. If you need specifics on training, medical monitoring, exposure controls, labels, or recordkeeping, consult 1910.1003 for the complete prescriptions.

Yes — complying with the requirements set out in 1910.1003 satisfies the shipyard rule because 1915.1014 states the shipyard requirements are identical to those in 1910.1003.

No — 1915.1014 does not add additional shipyard-only requirements; it makes the shipyard requirements identical to 1910.1003. Any obligation you must meet in shipyards is found in 1910.1003.

The 2-Acetylaminofluorene shipyard requirement is published at 1915.1014 and is part of 1915 Subpart Z (Toxic and Hazardous Substances). The section itself notes its requirements are identical to 1910.1003.

State OSHA plans must have programs that are at least as effective as federal OSHA; therefore, State Plan states generally adopt equivalent or stricter requirements for hazardous substances like 2-Acetylaminofluorene. For federal coverage you follow 1915.1014 and its incorporation of 1910.1003, and employers in State Plan states should check their state rules and guidance (see OSHA discussion of State Plans in several letters of interpretation such as https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/standardinterpretations/2024-08-01).

Federal OSHA enforces 1915.1014 in states without separate State Plans; in states with OSHA-approved State Plans, the State agency enforces an equivalent or more protective standard. The text of 1915.1014 points you to 1910.1003 for the substantive requirements, and State Plan applicability is discussed in OSHA guidance such as https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/standardinterpretations/2024-08-01.

Shipyard employers should consult the detailed rule text at 1910.1003 because 1915.1014 defers to that section for specifics. If further clarification is needed, contact OSHA’s regional office or review OSHA’s official letters of interpretation and enforcement guidance on related topics (see OSHA’s interpretation index such as https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/standardinterpretations/).

No — 1915.1014 does not alter hazard classification or labeling; it requires shipyard employers to follow the substantive provisions in 1910.1003, which is where any labeling, warning, and communication obligations appear.

Yes — compliance materials, procedures, and written programs that satisfy 1910.1003 will also meet the shipyard obligations under 1915.1014 because the shipyard section is explicitly identical to 1910.1003.

The text of 1915.1014 notes the rule’s Federal Register history (for example, citations such as 58 FR 35580, July 1, 1993, and subsequent notices) and states that the shipyard requirements mirror 1910.1003; consult those references and the 1910.1003 preamble for detailed effective-date history.
