- Abstract
- On November 25, 1983, the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration promulgated the "Hazard Communication Regulation" (29 CFR 1910.1200). The state of North Carolina amended this legislation on June 27, 1985 [North Carolina Occupational Safety and Health Hazard Communication; 13 NCAC 7C.0101(a)(99)]. These regulations address the issue of communicating chemical hazards to employees who are potentially exposed to hazardous substances in the workplace. They accomplish the communication in five separate but related tasks. These are the determination of hazards, the development of Material Safety Data Sheets, the implementation of container labeling, the training of employees, and the writing of a Hazard Communication Program. North Carolina has also passed the "Hazardous Chemical Right To Know Act" on July 17, 1985 (Article 18, Chapter 95, North Carolina General Statutes 95-173 et seq.). This legislation pertains to the communication of chemical hazards to the Fire Marshall and other Public Safety Officials as well as the North Carolina community at large. A compliance strategy for the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), a federal research laboratory, is presented.
