The Public Employee Hazardous Chemical Protection and Right to Know Act was enacted by the State of Georgia to ensure worker protection from hazardous chemicals that may be encountered in the workplace. See the Department of Labor flyer for additional information.
As required by this law, University of North Georgia has developed a policy and plan to assure that all employees receive training and information about hazardous chemicals present in their work area. A copy of this plan is available through the Human Resource Department or by contacting the University’s Right to Know Coordinator at the Environmental Health & Safety office at 678-717-3434.
A requirement of the university’s plan is that employees receive training. Under this plan, there are two training requirements.
