Is it true that the law mandates employers to maintain and submit information about hazardous substances in their workplaces?

True
False
Only for businesses with more than 50 employees
Only for those using chemicals

The correct answer is: True

The statement is accurate. Employers are required under various laws, most notably the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations and the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA), to maintain and provide access to information regarding hazardous substances present in the workplace. This information includes Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and regular reporting of hazardous materials stored or used. This requirement serves to ensure that employees are informed about the potential risks associated with exposure to hazardous substances and the necessary safety measures to mitigate those risks. It supports a workplace culture of safety and transparency, allowing workers to make informed decisions about their health and safety. The other options suggest limitations either based on employee numbers or the type of chemical usage, which do not align with the broad obligation that exists for all employers regarding hazardous substances, regardless of the size of the business or the specific chemicals involved.
