• 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 New Mexicothat are 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 New Mexico.

Overall Regulatory Structure


New Mexico is a state-plan state, having been delegated authority by OSHA to administer its ownoccupational health and safety program. The state program is regulated by New Mexico’s EnvironmentDepartment (NMED), Occupational Health and Safety Bureau (OHSB). New Mexico has adopted thefederal OSHA standards at 29 CFR 1910 into NMAC 11.5.2.9.

The information shall be readily accessible bytelephone, two-way communication, computer or actual copies of the material safety datasheets.” (NMAC 11.5.2.9)

• The introductory paragraph to 29 CFR 1910.1200(h) is amended to read: “Employers shallprovide employees with effective information and training on hazardous chemicals in their workarea at the time of their initial assignment, and whenever a new physical or health hazard theemployees have not been trained about is introduced to their work area, with the exception that anew employee shall be deemed to have been trained provided the employer can demonstrate theemployee has received training regarding the same hazards within the past twelve months.Information and training may be designed to cover categories of hazards (e.g. flammability,carcinogenicity or specific chemicals). Chemical-specific information must always be availablethrough labels and material safety data sheets.” (NMAC 11.5.2.9)
