2008 Right to Know Complete Survey

Public Employers

Deadline: Past due

The 2008 Right to Know (RTK) complete survey is past due. If you have not submitted your Complete RTK Survey, you should do so immediately to avoid penalties.

Guidelines:

We recommend that employers review their current chemical inventory and complete the following steps:

• Keep track of new chemicals that arrive at each facility each calendar year and obtain a manufacturer’s Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
  
  
• Properly dispose of any chemicals that are not in use.
  
  
• Organize the remaining containers of chemicals and products so that quantities are easy to count.
  
  
• Ensure that you have an up-to-date manufacturer’s Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for each product in your inventory.
  
  
• Check the manufacturer’s MSDS and the product label to ensure the products ingredients are listed. If not, contact the product manufacturer or your supplier to obtain the information.
  
  
• Identify the chemicals and ingredients that are on the 2007 RTK Hazardous Substance List that need to be reported. You can search the List using the RTK substance #, chemical name, CAS #, or DOT #.
  
  
• Begin completing your inventory forms. Check the instruction booklet for further information.
