How to get Community Right
to Know Information
By Mail
To obtain information submitted to the Community
Right to Know program (Community Right to
Know Surveys or Release and Pollution Prevention
Reports), requests must be submitted through
the Office of the Records Access (ORA).
A request for information must be filed
on an official Open Public Records Act (OPRA)
request form. You can access the OPRA website
at http://www.nj.gov/dep/opra/.
Hazardous Substance Fact Sheets
The New Jersey Department of Health and
Senior Services (DHSS) develops and distributes
Hazardous Substance Fact Sheets (HSFS) for
many of the chemicals subject to Right to
Know reporting. The Fact Sheets explain
specific health effects of a chemical from
workplace exposures, ways to reduce or control
workplace exposure, and emergency information.
HSFSs may be obtained from DHSS Right to
Know Program at P.O. Box 368, Trenton, NJ
08625, by calling 609-984-2202 or at the
DHSS web site.
