Key Components of the Law

Along with the requirement that you receive training and education on hazardous chemicals, Georgia’s Right to Know law also requires that you be informed of:

• The requirements of the law

• What Safety Data Sheets are and how to use them

• Where hazardous chemicals are used in your work area

• The location and availability of training programs

• Your right to receive information regarding hazardous chemicals on your job

• Your right for your physician to receive information on the chemicals to which you may be exposed

• Your right against discharge or other discrimination for exercising your rights under the law
