Methylene Chloride Standard (29 CFR 1910.1052)

The standard requires employers to monitor employee exposure to methylene chloride (MC), to provide medical consultation and examinations, to train employees about the hazards of MC in their working areas, and to establish and maintain records of employee exposure to MC. These records will be used by employers, employees, physicians and the Government to ensure that employees are not being harmed by exposure to MC. Appendix B to section 1910.1052 contains medical surveillance questionnaire forms for workers that may be exposed to methylene chloride. Based on the animal evidence and three epidemiologic studies previously mentioned, OSHA concludes that Methylene Chloride is a suspect human carcinogen. The medical surveillance program is designed to observe exposed workers on a regular basis.
