What does the Worker-Right-to-Know Law require in the workplace?

• A. Employers must post safety data sheets in every work area
• B. The law requires certification of workers
• C. Employees must be informed about pesticides and other hazardous chemicals in the workplace
• D. The law prohibits pesticide use indoors

Answer: (C)

Workers must be informed about pesticides and other hazardous chemicals in the workplace. This means employers provide information on what chemicals are present, the hazards they pose, and how to protect yourself. Information is shared through labels on containers, Safety Data Sheets, and training before and during use. You should know where to find the SDS and label details, understand what personal protective equipment is required, and know procedures for safe handling, storage, spills, and first aid. The aim is to give you the knowledge you need to stay safe on the job. The other options miss this core idea: certification isn’t part of Right-to-Know, prohibiting indoor pesticide use isn’t the law’s purpose, and while having the SDS accessible is important, the law centers on informing workers about hazards and how to protect themselves.
