RIGHT TO KNOW (RTK)
PROGRAM The Right
to Know Laws require public employers to train their employees about the
hazardous substances at their workplace.
The training includes information about:
working safely with hazardous substances in the
workplace, proper labeling and availability of material
data safety sheets.
-
The
RTK Coordinator receives and reviews the RTK surveys completed by public and private employers
who work with hazardous substances and provides
information from environmental files and RTK surveys
upon request to the general public (NJDHSS designated
Passaic County Department of Health as the “Lead
Agency” in Passaic County).
-
In
accordance with the NJDHSS & NJDEP regulations, the RTK Coordinator implements an outreach
and information program to acquaint the public emergency
responders, public employers and employees with
provisions of the RTK Act & Program.
This is accomplished through site visits and
telephone calls.
