Right to Know Season is here
"Right to Know" season is upon us...
As you know, the NJ Department of Health (NJDOH) requires that every public school conduct an annual chemical inventory and file Right to Know Surveys for each of their facilities to update any changes in the hazardous substances used or stored every year. REMINDER - you must file an updated survey even if no changes in facilities or hazardous materials occurred in the past year. The 2020 survey must be completed and filed on-line by July 15, 2021. That means it is best to get started early in the year to be sure that the deadline is met without frantic last-minute efforts.
Each District must establish a NJDOH on-line Right to Know (RTK) account to register for access to the on-line RTK portal. Consultants completing the RTK surveys on behalf of Districts must be provided with an access code to allow entry of data. However, the final on-line filing and certification must be done by an authorized District representative.
Here's How GSE Can Help:
- Limited review of Central Files for missing SDSs
- Listing of containers with improper labels
- Data provided on electronic media to replace bulky notebooks and expedite information access (one-time conversion fees may apply)
- Identification of older or damaged chemical containers for disposal (where accessible)
COVID-19 Considerations:
- Never go on-site with any COVID symptoms or recent potential exposures
- Properly wear appropriate face coverings at all times
- Bring and regularly use hand sanitizer and surface disinfectant wipes
- Wear gloves where necessary
- Maintain social distancing with all other building occupants
- Open windows in work areas where practical and authorized by the District
