Compilation of this list is the initial step in OSHA's screening process for suspected carcinogens. To compile this list, substances for which there was some evidence of carcinogenicity and potential occupational hazard were drawn from such lists the NIOSH Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances (RTECS); U.S. Public Health Service, Publication No. 149; EPA's Inventory of Chemical Substances; the monographs of the International Agency for Research on Cancer; and the Annual Report of the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to the President and the Congress. The substances which are found in American work places, and for which there some evidence of carcinogenicity, are subjected to a brief scientific review of available literature to determine whether or not a substance should be subject to a more thorough review under the OSHA Cancer Policy. Based on the more detailed review, a determination may then be made to whether a substance meets OSHA's definition of a potential occupational carcinogen. Substances Regulated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) on the Basis of Carcinogenicity Since 1970, OSHA has promulgated rules regulating 18 chemicals on the basis of carcinogenicity.
