MICHIGAN RIGHT TO KNOW
(Excerpts)
–Michigan Right to Know amendments to MIOSHA require an employer to develop and implement a hazardous chemical communication
system within the workplace that informs employees about what chemicals they are or may be exposed to, possible harmful
effects, and how to work safely around these chemicals.
–Provide employees with a written hazard communication program that defines responsibilities, contains a complete list of
hazardous chemicals present in the workplace, informs employees of the hazards of non-routine tasks, and demonstrates how
to identify the contents of in-house pipes and piping systems.
–Obtain and make available to employees a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for each hazardous chemical used in the workplace. Signs
must be posted in the workplace showing employees where SDSs are located and when they are revised or newly received.
–Employers are to see that current SDSs and properly labeled containers are received from producers and distributors of
hazardous chemicals. The only unlabeled hazardous chemical containers permitted in the workplace are portable containers
filled by an employee from a properly labeled container and used only by that employee to transfer chemicals during his/her shift.
–Employers are required to hold employee training sessions during which employees receive information and have questions answered
regarding the chemical hazards they may be exposed to, how to read and interpret labels and SDSs, how to locate a specific SDS,
ways to protect themselves from chemical hazards, and the details of the hazard communication program.
Refer to the Michigan Employee Right to Know (RTK) Law for the complete rights and requirements provided by that standard.
