PURPOSE
This program manual is designed to implement the provisions of the Minnesota Employee Right-to-Know Act of 1983. This manual presents the major aspects of the standards. These standards require employers to evaluate their workplaces for the existence of hazardous substances, harmful physical agents, and infectious agents and to provide training and information to those employees covered under this act who are routinely exposed to those substances and agents.
