Occupational carcinogen regulation

Under 1990 the part covers the identification, classification, and regulation of potential occupational carcinogens and establishes the regulatory framework OSHA uses for those activities. The official Part 1990 title and linking information are available on the OSHA standard page at Regulation of Potential Occupational Carcinogens under 1990.

• Use this page as the starting point to find the specific regulatory text, scope, and any lists or procedures that may appear in the full regulation.

Under 1990 the official regulatory text and any official cross-references can be found on OSHA’s regulation page at Regulation of Potential Occupational Carcinogens under 1990.

• For the legal codification you can also consult the e‑CFR version referenced on that page for the most current text.

Under 1990 employers should use the part as the regulatory framework for identifying and classifying potential occupational carcinogens and then apply appropriate controls consistent with OSHA requirements.

• Start by reviewing the full Part 1990 text at Regulation of Potential Occupational Carcinogens under 1990 to determine the specific identification or listing procedures.
• Integrate findings into your workplace programs (hazard assessment, exposure control, training) and follow any substance-specific OSHA rules that apply.

Under 1990 the summary identifies the part’s purpose—identification, classification, and regulation of potential occupational carcinogens—but the brief summary does not itself list specific chemicals.

• Check the complete regulatory text on the OSHA page at Regulation of Potential Occupational Carcinogens under 1990 to see whether the standard or its incorporated material contains a list or procedures for adding substances.

Under 1990 the part provides a framework for addressing potential occupational carcinogens that complements OSHA’s substance‑specific standards; you must follow both the general provisions in Part 1990 (as applicable) and any specific OSHA standards that apply to particular chemicals or exposures.

• Review Regulation of Potential Occupational Carcinogens under 1990 and then identify any separate OSHA standards (for example, those that set exposure limits or work practices) that cover the same substance.

Under 1990 you should consult the full regulatory text and any listings or criteria provided there to determine whether a chemical is treated as a potential occupational carcinogen.

• Begin by reading Regulation of Potential Occupational Carcinogens under 1990 to find the criteria or listing process.
• If the regulation references outside classification sources or procedures, follow those references and document the basis for your determination.

Under 1990 the OSHA regulation page is the authoritative place to check for updates; you should regularly review that page and the e‑CFR to learn of amendments or additions.

• Monitor Regulation of Potential Occupational Carcinogens under 1990 and the e‑CFR for current regulatory text and federal updates.

Under 1990 you can rely on the Part 1990 page as the starting regulatory framework for carcinogen identification and classification, but you must also read and comply with any other OSHA standards that apply to your workplace or specific substances.

• Consult Regulation of Potential Occupational Carcinogens under 1990 and cross‑reference with other OSHA standards (for example, exposure limits or process‑specific rules) to build a complete compliance plan.

Under 1990 you should document how you identified and classified potential occupational carcinogens and what regulatory steps or controls you adopted based on that identification.

• Note the citation for your actions by referencing Regulation of Potential Occupational Carcinogens under 1990.
• Keep records of hazard assessments, decisions about whether a substance is a potential carcinogen, chosen controls, training, and any monitoring or medical surveillance applied.

Under 1990 the best first step is to consult the Part 1990 regulatory text to determine whether the chemical may be a potential occupational carcinogen and to follow the identification/classification procedures described there.

• Start by reviewing Regulation of Potential Occupational Carcinogens under 1990, then check recognized carcinogen lists cited by OSHA and any substance‑specific OSHA rules before implementing controls.

Under 1990 OSHA enforces the requirements in this part, and if you need help interpreting the regulation you should consult the official text on OSHA’s website and contact OSHA compliance assistance or legal counsel for specific guidance.

• Start with the Part 1990 page at Regulation of Potential Occupational Carcinogens under 1990 and use OSHA’s regional offices or compliance assistance resources for clarification.
