The New Jersey Department of Health recently announced a new online system for submitting your annual Right to Know Survey. As most know, the RTK surveys for each facility are due on the 15th of July every year, but due to the new changes, the deadline for submitting the 2013 RTK Survey online will be extended until February 15, 2015. But even with the extension, it is a daunting task to take all of the steps necessary to file your Right to Know information.
What is Right-To-Know?
The New Jersey Worker and Community Right to Know Act (N.J.S.A. 34:5A-1 et. seq.) requires all public employers to report information about hazardous chemicals used, produced, or stored at their facilities. The law provides publics employees, emergency responders, and residents with the information that they need so that they are aware of chemical hazards that they may be exposed to at their workplace or in their community.
