Hazardous Chemical Program

This document contains a customizable example program for workplaces with employee exposure to a specific hazardous chemical. The program is designed to assist employers in ensuring employees are not overexposed to the chemical. Employers should note that when employees are exposed to a hazardous chemical that is regulated by one of the substance-specific standards in 1910, 1928 and 1926 Subpart Z, the employer is required to develop and implement the written compliance or exposure control program that is required by the applicable standard.
