How to get Community Right to Know Information
By Mail
To obtain information submitted to the Community Right
to Know program (Community Right to Know Surveys or Release
and Pollution Prevention Reports), requests must be submitted
through the Office of the Records Access (ORA). A request
for information must be filed on an official Open Public Records
Act (OPRA) request form. You can access the OPRA website at
www.nj.gov/dep/opra.
Hazardous Substance Fact Sheets
The New Jersey Department of Health and
Senior Services (DHSS) develops and distributes Hazardous
Substance Fact Sheets (HSFS) for many of the chemicals subject
to Right to Know reporting. The Fact Sheets explain specific
health effects of a chemical from workplace exposures, ways
to reduce or control workplace exposure, and emergency information.
HSFSs may be obtained from DHSS Right to Know Program at P.O.
Box 368, Trenton, NJ 08625, by calling 609-984-2202
or at the
DHSS web site.
