OSHA Safety Courses for General Industry and Construction per 29 CFR 1910 & CFR 1926
Benzene is a colorless or light yellow liquid at room temperature. It has a sweet odor and is highly flammable. Benzene is widely used in the United States; it ranks in the top 20 chemicals for production volume. It is primarily used as a starting material in making other chemicals. Benzene is also a natural part of crude oil and gasoline.
Short-term exposure to high levels of benzene can cause drowsiness, dizziness, unconsciousness, and even death. Long-term exposure may affect bone marrow and blood production. Benzene is known to cause cancer in humans.
This Benzene Awareness for General Industry and Construction provides a general awareness of the risks related to Benzene exposure and OSHA’s regulatory requirements for protecting employees who work with benzene.
Employers are required to provide employees with information and training at the time of their initial assignment to a work area where benzene is present.
If Benzene concentrations are above the action level, employees must be provided with information and training at least annually thereafter.
This training also addresses OSHA regulations and training requirements as they relate to benzene.

Training Providers should be used to ensure credibility and augment a company’s training program. Therefore, in addition to the training provided by an outside party, a student should receive site-specific training supplied by their employer. This training should target the company’s unique approach to hazard prevention, including the use of site-specific equipment, health and safety policies, and emergency procedures. As a rule, this company-specific training should be well documented.
