2-Acetylaminofluorene requirements

The requirements for 2‑Acetylaminofluorene in construction are the same as those in the general industry standard at 29 CFR 1910.1003, so you must follow 1910.1003 when doing construction work covered by 1926.1114.

• The text of 1926.1114 explicitly states the construction requirements are identical to 1910.1003.
• Use 1910.1003 for details on exposure control, monitoring, training, medical surveillance, and recordkeeping.

Yes — employers performing construction activities must comply with the 2‑Acetylaminofluorene requirements by following 1910.1003 because 1926.1114 makes the construction requirements identical to that general industry standard.

• The construction standard explicitly cross-references 1910.1003, so compliance obligations (monitoring, controls, PPE, training, etc.) apply to construction employers.

You should consult 1910.1003 for the required employee information, training, and warning signs because 1926.1114 adopts the same requirements.

• 1910.1003 contains the provisions on employee information and training, required caution signs/labels, and how employers must communicate hazards to workers.

Medical surveillance and recordkeeping requirements for construction exposures to 2‑Acetylaminofluorene are contained in 1910.1003, and those are the rules you must follow under 1926.1114.

• Because 1926.1114 makes the construction requirements identical to 1910.1003, check 1910.1003 for details on medical exams, retention of medical records, and when surveillance must be offered.

You must follow the exposure monitoring and air sampling protocol set out in 1910.1003, because 1926.1114 adopts those same requirements for construction.

• Use the sampling, monitoring, and action-level guidance in 1910.1003 to determine when to measure exposures and what follow-up actions to take.

Engineering controls and personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements for 2‑Acetylaminofluorene in construction are specified in 1910.1003, and employers must apply those requirements under 1926.1114.

• Because 1926.1114 defers to 1910.1003, follow the hierarchy of controls, required engineering measures, and specified PPE from 1910.1003 when planning work.

Both the employer who brings or uses the chemical and the controlling employer at the site have responsibilities; follow the hazard communication and training provisions in 1910.1003 as incorporated by 1926.1114.

• 1926.1114 makes the construction rule identical to 1910.1003, so employers who introduce hazardous chemicals must ensure Safety Data Sheets, labels, and training are provided to exposed employees.
• Site employers should coordinate to make sure all affected employees receive the required information and training described in 1910.1003.

The legal history and Federal Register citations for the construction standard are listed in the 1926.1114 entry, which notes the identical application to 1910.1003 and includes Federal Register references in its header.

• See 1926.1114 for the Federal Register notices cited with the standard (for example, 58 FR 35216, 61 FR 5507, and others listed in the standard text).

Follow the analytical and testing methods referenced in 1910.1003 because 1926.1114 incorporates those same requirements for construction.

• 1910.1003 typically identifies monitoring and sampling approaches; use that section for which methods, frequencies, and laboratories to use when determining exposures.

Yes — OSHA issues letters of interpretation and guidance that can clarify how standards apply, and you should use the requirements in 1910.1003 as the operative rule under 1926.1114.

• While 1926.1114 itself is short, OSHA interpretation letters (available on OSHA’s website) can explain how the elements of 1910.1003 apply in particular construction scenarios.

You must implement the control measures, monitoring, training, and recordkeeping specified in 1910.1003 even if your construction practices require planning to adapt those controls to the jobsite, because 1926.1114 adopts 1910.1003.

• Practical steps include: performing a site-specific hazard assessment, documenting feasible engineering controls, providing required PPE and training from 1910.1003, and keeping required records.
• If there is uncertainty about applying a specific provision in a unique construction setting, consult OSHA guidance or request an interpretation to clarify compliance expectations while continuing to meet the protections in 1910.1003.

No — OSHA does not treat 2‑Acetylaminofluorene exposures differently for construction; 1926.1114 makes the construction requirements identical to 1910.1003, so the same protective measures, monitoring, and training apply.

• The identical application means the substance-specific protections in 1910.1003 are the baseline for all covered worksites, including construction.
