29 CFR 1910.12008 CCR §5194WAC 296-901-14020 (WSR 26-02-011)

Where 1910.1200 lives in the 22 State Plans: the HazCom rule each state cites

In the 22 State Plans that cover private employers, a HazCom citation names the state's rule, not 29 CFR 1910.1200. OSHA lists hazard communication among the unique standards of 10 plans, from California's 8 CCR §5194 to Washington's WAC 296-901; the other 12 take the federal text through their own adoption rule. The table gives each rule, its official source and how its citations show up in OSHA's FY2025 data, where only 17 plans report under 1910.1200.

“Own standard” means OSHA lists hazard communication among the plan's unique standards. It does not by itself mean the state replaced the federal text: the next section shows the shapes behind the label. “No 1910.1200 row” means the tool shows none for that state under 1910.1200; it does not mean the state never cites hazard communication.

Own rule or federal text: what the label hides

A separate state text

California (8 CCR §5194), Washington (WAC 296-901) and Oregon (OAR 437-002-0376) publish their own hazard communication text and their own dates.

Federal text, state numbering

Michigan delivers the federal text through its own numbered parts at fixed dates (MIOSHA Part 92, R 408.19202 (Parts 42 / 92 / 430)).

Federal text plus a state layer

Tennessee requires compliance with 29 CFR 1910.1200(f) and adds a workplace chemical list, fire-department placarding and public disclosure (Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0800-01-09 (Hazardous Chemical Right to Know)). Alaska incorporates 1910.1200 “as amended” and adds a physical agent data sheet (8 AAC 61.1010(b) + 8 AAC 61.1110). Iowa and Minnesota also pair the federal text with state rules.

States that adopt the federal text differ in how they take federal changes. Alaska incorporates it “as amended”, so federal changes, the January 15, 2026 extension included, flow through without state action. Others name a specific edition or Federal Register notice and stay on that version until they adopt the next one. That difference decides which HCS 2024 dates apply, state by state, in our HCS 2024 deadlines by State Plan.

How State Plan HazCom citations show up in OSHA's data

OSHA's Frequently Cited Standards tool publishes each State Plan's own construction enforcement. Most plans cite under federal CFR numbers, so their HazCom citations appear under 1910.1200. Two do not:

California: cited under title 8 section numbers, not 29 cfr numbers, so no 1910.1200 row.
Washington: cited under washington section numbers, none in cfr form, so no 1910.1200 row.
Michigan cites both its own MIOSHA sections and federal CFR numbers, so its 1910.1200 row is in the data (45 under 1910.1200 (rank 23 in the state)).

The full construction picture, with the federal count and the Maryland outlier, is in the HazCom Enforcement Report FY2025.

Find and cite your state's HazCom rule, in five steps

Step 1
Check who enforces on your site
If the state runs a State Plan that covers private employers, its agency inspects most private worksites and cites its own rule. The list of plans, and what each one excludes, is on OSHA's State Plan pages.
Step 2
Find the state's HazCom rule
Read the rule number in the table, then open the state's text at the linked source. That text, not 29 CFR 1910.1200, is what the state cites.
Step 3
Read how the state takes federal changes
A state that adopts the federal text "as amended" picks up federal changes on its own; a state that names a specific Federal Register notice is bound to that version until it adopts the next one.
Step 4
Check the state's own dates
HCS 2024 compliance dates differ by state. Washington and Oregon set their own, and some states adopted before the January 2026 federal extension. The dates are in our HCS 2024 deadlines guide.
Step 5
Answer a state citation under the state's procedure
A state citation names the state rule and follows the state's contest process and deadline, which the citation itself states. Each State Plan guide links the appeal procedure.

Key facts

22 State Plans cover private employers. OSHA lists hazard communication among the unique standards of 10 of them; the other 12 take the federal text through their own adoption rule.
California enforces its own text, 8 CCR §5194; Washington's dates sit in WAC 296-901-14020 (WSR 26-02-011); Oregon's in OAR 437-002-0376.
Michigan delivers the federal text through its own numbered parts (MIOSHA Part 92, R 408.19202 (Parts 42 / 92 / 430)), and Tennessee adds a state right-to-know chapter on top of the federal labeling duty (Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0800-01-09 (Hazardous Chemical Right to Know)).
In OSHA's FY2025 construction data, 17 of the 22 plans show a row under 1910.1200. California and Washington cite under their own numbers, so their HazCom citations never appear under 1910.1200.
Maryland leads the plans that cite under 1910.1200, with 609 construction HazCom citations in FY2025.
A State Plan's standards must be at least as effective as OSHA's (OSH Act section 18(c)(2), 29 U.S.C. 667(c)(2)). Different wording or numbering is allowed; a weaker rule is not.

State Plan HazCom FAQ

What is California's hazard communication standard?

8 CCR §5194, Cal/OSHA's own hazard communication text in Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations. Cal/OSHA cites that section, not 29 CFR 1910.1200, and OSHA's cited-standards tool reports California under Title 8 numbers.

Which State Plans write their own HazCom rule?

OSHA lists hazard communication among the unique standards of 10 plans: Alaska, California, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Tennessee, Washington. The label covers at least three shapes: a separate state text (California 8 CCR 5194, Washington WAC 296-901, Oregon OAR 437-002-0376), the federal text through state-numbered parts (Michigan R 408.19202), and the federal text plus a state right-to-know layer (Tennessee 0800-01-09, Iowa, Minnesota).

Does a State Plan have to match federal HazCom exactly?

No. It has to be at least as effective as the federal standard (OSH Act section 18(c)(2), 29 U.S.C. 667(c)(2)). It may number, word and date its rule differently, and it may add duties, as Tennessee's right-to-know chapter does.

Why don't California and Washington appear in OSHA's 1910.1200 counts?

Because OSHA's Frequently Cited Standards tool reports their construction citations under state section numbers: Title 8 numbers for California, none in CFR form for Washington (FY2025 data, extracted August 8, 2026). Their HazCom enforcement is real; it is filed under 8 CCR §5194 and WAC 296-901.

Do states that adopt the federal text follow the HCS 2024 dates automatically?

Only if they incorporate it "as amended". Alaska does (8 AAC 61.1010(b) + 8 AAC 61.1110), so federal changes, including the January 15, 2026 extension, flow through without state action. A state that adopts by naming a specific edition or Federal Register notice stays on that version until it adopts the next one, which is why some plans still carry the pre-extension dates of 29 CFR 1910.1200(j).
