What is the Cal OSHA asbestos standard?

• A. 29 CFR 1926.1101
• B. CFR 1904
• C. CFR 1529
• D. OSHA 1910.1000

Answer: (C)

Cal/OSHA regulates asbestos under California codes, not the federal CFRs. The asbestos standard for California workplaces is in Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations, specifically section 1529. This rule lays out the requirements for exposure limits, engineering controls, respiratory protection, medical surveillance, training, and other protections tailored to California employers and workers.

The other options are federal OSHA standards or unrelated regulations. Federal construction asbestos rules live in 29 CFR 1926.1101, general industry asbestos rules are 29 CFR 1910.1001 (not 1910.1000), and 29 CFR 1904 covers recording workplace injuries and illnesses.
