What is the Florida Right-To-Know Law?

• Alike in meaning to the OSHA Hazcom standard

• Written to protect the community

• Written to protect workers

04/21/23 5

The Government Regulation Requires:

• That companies research their products to determine their hazards

• That chemical manufacturers provide detailed information about their chemicals to their customers

• That chemical manufacturers provide warning labels for the chemicals they produce

• Employers train the people who handle or are exposed to chemicals about their hazards

04/21/23 6

The Government Regulation Requires:

• Employers maintain a chemical exposure plan to protect employees from the chemicals in the workplace

04/21/23 7

What is a Chemical Exposure Plan?

• Provides employees with updated, completed MSDS’s (Material Safety Data Sheets)

• Makes sure all containers and secondary containers are labeled as to their contents
