13-Carcinogens (Required by OSHA Annually)

Pre-Course Information Sheet

Course: 13 Carcinogens Awareness and Safety (Online)

Course Overview

This course provides an overview of the thirteen carcinogens regulated under specific OSHA substance standards and addresses the health risks associated with occupational exposure to carcinogenic materials. Participants will learn how carcinogens enter the body, the potential health effects of exposure, regulatory requirements, hazard communication practices, exposure controls, personal protective equipment (PPE), emergency procedures, and employee responsibilities for maintaining a safe workplace.

The course is intended to increase employee awareness of carcinogenic hazards and support compliance with applicable workplace health and safety regulations.

Delivery Method

Online / LMS-Based Asynchronous Learning

Participants may complete the course at their own pace within the allotted course access period.

This 13 Carcinogens course meets the annual refresher requirement of 29 CFR 1910.1003 for employees who may be exposed to one or more of OSHA listed carcinogens: 4-Nitrobiphenyl, alpha-Naphthylamine, methyl chloromethyl ether, 3,3-Dichlorobenzidine and its salts, bis-Chloromethyl ether, beta-Naphthylamine, Benzidine, 4-Aminodiphenyl, Ethyleneimine, beta-Propiolactone, 2-Acetylaminofluorene, 4-Dimethylaminoazobenzene, and N-Nitrosodimethylamine. Participants learn how each of the 13 substances is used, produced, or generated as a byproduct in research, pharmaceutical, chemical synthesis, dye, polymer, and specialty manufacturing processes. The course reviews toxicology and the mechanism of cancer initiation, differentiating acute from chronic health effects, latency periods, and target organs such as the bladder, liver, lung, and hematopoietic system. Learners study the engineering and work-practice controls required under 1910.1003, including regulated areas, isolated systems, closed systems, decontamination procedures, emergency response, signs and labels, authorized-employee access, and medical surveillance programs. The program emphasizes personal protective equipment selection including chemical-resistant gloves, full-face respirators or supplied air, and chemical-protective clothing, along with the rationale for no-skin-contact requirements for certain substances. Participants review recordkeeping for incident reports, operating instructions, regulated-area logs, and medical exams, and learn how OSHA inspects carcinogen programs. The course closes with hazard communication tie-ins under 29 CFR 1910.1200, GHS pictograms, SDS literacy, and proper labeling of secondary containers.

This course is intended for:

• Employees,
• Supervisors,
• Laboratory personnel,
• Maintenance workers,
• Industrial hygienists,
• Safety professionals,
• Individuals who may work with or around regulated carcinogenic substances.
