§ 5215. 4,4′-Methylenebis(2-Chloroaniline).
Authorized Person. Any person specifically authorized by the employer to handle or use MBOCA or to enter a controlled access area or any person entering such an area as a designated representative of employees for the purpose of exercising an opportunity to observe monitoring and measuring procedures.
Chief. The Chief of the Division of Occupational Safety and Health, P.O. Box 420603, San Francisco, CA 94142.
Controlled Access Area. An area where entry and exit are restricted and controlled for the purpose of limiting occupational exposure to MBOCA.
Engineering Controls. Methods of controlling occupational exposure to injurious materials or conditions by means of general or local exhaust ventilation, by process modification, or by isolation or enclosure of health hazard-producing operation or machinery. Engineering controls do not include employee personal protection.
Work Practice Controls. Methods of controlling occupational exposure to injurious materials or conditions by means of written procedures specifying handling, employee personal protection and personal hygiene.
Fabricated Products. Any elastomer or foam product processed so that the unreacted MBOCA is less than 1.0 percent by weight of polymer.
MBOCA. 4,4′-Methylenebis(2-chloroaniline), Chemical Abstracts Service Registry No. 101144. Appendix A contains other synonyms.
(C) Accessible surfaces which employees are likely to contact in controlled access areas or uncontrolled areas during their normal work shall not exceed 100 μg MBOCA per 100 cm2 of surface. For regulatory purposes, the average of at least five wipe samples shall be used; if one sample exceeds the mean by a factor of 10 or more, it will be rejected as not being representative.
(2) Written plans, including timetables for attaining compliance with this section, shall be developed and furnished on request for examination and copying by the Chief or his authorized representative. Such plans shall be updated at least every six months until compliance is achieved and maintained to reflect current methods of control.

(4) A written operational plan for hazardous operations and emergency situations shall be developed for each facility manufacturing, processing, handling, packaging, repackaging, releasing, storing, selling, transferring, transporting, disposing, or using MBOCA. Appropriate portions of the plan shall be implemented in the event of an emergency. The plan shall specifically provide that:
(C) Employers shall include MBOCA in the hazard communication program established to comply with the HCS (Section 5194). Employers shall ensure that each employee has access to labels on containers of MBOCA and to safety data sheets, and is trained in accordance with the requirements of HCS and subsection (j)(4) of this section.
