The Laws
There are three main pieces of
legislation that apply to laboratories at OSU: the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard
(also known as the "Right-to- Know" or "RTK" Standard), the OSHA
Occupational Exposures to Hazardous Chemicals in Laboratories Standard (often referred to
simply as the "OSHA Lab Standard"), and Oklahoma's quarterly safety training
requirement.
