Which OSHA regulation requires that employees exposed to hazardous chemicals be provided information about those chemicals through labels, safety data sheets, and training?
Correct Answer
B) 29 CFR 1926.59
29 CFR 1926.59 is OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard for construction, requiring chemical hazard information through labels, SDSs, and training. 1926.1200 is the general industry standard.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
29 CFR 1926.59 is OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard (HazCom) specifically for the construction industry. It requires chemical manufacturers and employers to inform workers about hazardous chemicals through container labels, Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and employee training programs.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: 29 CFR 1926.95
29 CFR 1926.95 covers Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) — selection criteria and payment responsibilities. It does not address chemical hazard communication through labels or SDSs.
Option C: 29 CFR 1926.65
29 CFR 1926.65 covers Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER), which applies to cleanup of hazardous waste sites and emergency responders — not routine construction HazCom requirements.
Option D: 29 CFR 1926.1200
29 CFR 1926.1200 appears to be a plausible distractor, and 29 CFR 1910.1200 is the general industry HazCom standard. Construction's specific HazCom standard is 1926.59 — not 1926.1200.
Memory Technique
1926 = construction CFR part. Within 1926, remember '.59 = SDS + labels + training.' You can link 59 to the 'Hazard Communication' concept: 'Fifty-Nine Safety Data Sheets.'
