· Toxic and Hazardous Substances, 29 CFR 1910 Subpart Z (including chemical exposures andhazard communication); and

· Special Industries, 29 CFR 1910 Subpart R.

The purpose of this summary is twofold: to identify key state regulatory requirements in Colorado thatare more stringent than the federal regulations, and to identify any additional state programs orrequirements that may apply to industrial operations in these topic areas but that have no federalequivalent.

This summary is designed to serve as a supplement to OSHA Auditing Facilities: Federal ComplianceGuide, prepared by Specialty Technical Consultants (STC), and OSHA Compliance: A Simplified Guide,prepared by Touchstone Environmental, both published by Specialty Technical Publishers (STP). Thesummary should be used in conjunction with either of those documents when performing an audit ormanaging compliance at a facility in Colorado.


Overall Regulatory Structure

Colorado does not administer its own occupational health and safety standard. Employers must adhereto the federal OSHA standard, which is enforced by the regional office of the U.S. Occupational Safetyand Health Administration. Colorado also has some state health and safety requirements, which aresummarized below.

Colorado State University administers an OSHA consultation service that employers can use to obtaininformation and reviews of their facility against the federal OSHA standard.

(The federal regulations discuss toxic and hazardous substances, hazard communication, andlaboratory chemical hygiene.)

Asbestos

The federal OSHA rules at 29 CFR 1910.1001 apply in Colorado. In addition, Colorado hasincorporated the U.S. EPA regulations for Hazardous Air Pollutants (including asbestos) at 40 CFR 61(5 CCR 1001-10, Part A). The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE)administers additional requirements for asbestos abatement. Key provisions include the following:

· Certified building inspectors must inspect any public or commercial building prior to anyrenovation or demolition that may disturb a regulated amount of asbestos. Buildings that wereconstructed after October 12, 1988, are exempt from the inspection requirement if no asbestos-containing material (ACM) was specified as a building material in any construction documentfor the building or if no ACM was used as a building material (5 CCR 1001-10, Part B, SectionIII(A)(1)).

· All persons who conduct asbestos work must obtain the appropriate certification from the state(5 CCR 1001-10, Part B, Section II(A)(1)).

· All persons who conduct asbestos work must have their state certification photo ID cards or statecertificates available and copies of their training and refresher certificates available at each worksite so that CDPHE representatives may check their credentials (5 CCR 1001-10, Part B, SectionII(A)(2)).

Lead-Based Paint

Colorado's lead-based paint rule, Regulation No. 19, is codified at 5 CCR 1001-23. This regulation isconsistent with federal regulations governing lead-based paint abatement codified in 40 CFR 745, andthe U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Guidelines for Evaluation and Controlof Lead-based Paint Hazards in Housing. The state also follows the OSHA lead-in-constructionstandard at 29 CFR 1926.62.

Colorado's lead-based paint requirements apply to all activities performed in target housing and childoccupied facilities.


Ionizing Radiation

The federal ionizing radiation regulations at 29 CFR 1910.1096 apply in Colorado. The state has anagreement with NRC to regulate source material (uranium and thorium), reactor fission byproducts, andquantities of special nuclear materials not sufficient to form a critical mass. These requirements, alongwith other regulations relating to ionizing radiation, are administered by the Department of PublicHealth and Environment (CDPHE), Hazardous Materials and Waste Management Division at 6 CCR1007-1. The regulations are substantially the same as those of NRC. Key differences include thefollowing:

· Radiation machines, facilities, and services must be registered with CDPHE (6 CCR 1007-1, Part2).

· Licenses must be obtained from CDPHE (6 CCR 1007-1, Part 3).

Regulatory Differences Checklist.

COLORADO Recordkeeping

This checklist links each COLORADO regulatory requirement in the Recordkeeping rulebook to itsclosest federal regulatory equivalent. It has been designed for use with the corresponding federal auditguide. For ease of reference, the state differences presented here are numbered both sequentially (in the“#” column) and in terms of the number that links them to the specific analogous question in the federalguide (in the “Fed-Ref” column). Note that section titles in this checklist are identical with the sectiontitles used in the federal guide.

Many state differences refer to a specific paragraph statement in the federal audit guide; the number ofthat federal paragraph statement appears in the Fed-Ref column. At times, however, more than one statedifference may link to the same federal paragraph; here the number of that federal paragraph statementappears in the Fed-Ref multiple times. In still other cases, the state difference does not link to a specificquestion in the federal guide, rather it relates to an entire federal rulebook section; these items have theletter S in the Link column along with the section number.

Some state differences have no similar federal requirement to which they refer; these items appear in a“No Similar Federal Requirement” category. Other state differences have no corresponding federalchecklist to which they can be linked; these items are grouped in the “No Corresponding FederalChecklist” category.

We have classified each state difference in terms of how it can best be used for ongoing compliancemanagement and support of an auditing, checking, and corrective action effort.

· State differences that can be audited are accompanied by the terminology N/A, Complies, Does NotComply. These items have been specifically structured for a response of this type during a self-assessment or audit.

· State differences that are annotated with the symbol are information-only items. Theinformation presented here may relate to the status of a state program, give some useful insights intostate approaches to regulatory performance and reporting, or describe the structure of stateregulations.

· State differences that are annotated with the symbol are external references. Relatively littledetail is provided in this state difference guide other than the existence of the state program orregulations, combined with a reference at which more details about this issue can be found. In thiscase, the auditor or compliance manager will have to do further facility-specific investigation todetermine the extent to which this topic relates to the facility in question.

· State differences that are annotated with the symbol indicate that this is an item related toapplicability (including potential exemptions from a particular regulatory requirement). The userneeds to use the information provided (often supplemented with further information from other partsof OSHA Auditing Federal Compliance Guide (Facilities) or other sources) to determine whether ornot a regulatory requirement or related issue applies in that situation.
