OSHA Employees' Right to Know Programs
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is responsible for the issuance and enforcement of regulations that cover safety in the workplace. The OSHA Hazard Communication standard, which became effective in 1985, was the strongest legislative action that promised the Employee Right to Know
and the Community Right to Know
. Today every worker has the right to know about hazards that they are exposed to in the work environment, and every community member has a right to know about hazardous chemicals released into the air they breathe, and the water they drink.
