Right-To-Know
The Georgia Right-To-Know Law requires each employee (faculty, staff, student
workers, full time employees,
part time employees and/or temporary employees) to be provided with information
and training on the
hazardous chemicals that they may be exposed to as part of their job. To comply,
RM/EHS has developed
an RTK program outlining the law requirements as it applies to the UWG community.
This program
requires all new employees to take RTK training within the first 6 months of
employment and annually thereafter.
To facilitate this requirement, the BOR has an online Basic
Awareness Training module.
A Chemical Specific Training
is also available for those individuals who would like to supplement the
basic course. On request, RM/EHS can also provide customized training to meet
a department’s specific
needs. Training documentation for individuals who have conducted the online
training is provided below.

Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is a document that provides a wealth of information about a chemical product whether it is in solid, liquid or in a gaseous form.
To learn more about MSDS and search for a MSDS, we have provided more information and links here.
