Does the THCA apply to hazardous chemicals that do not exceed the thresholds specified for the “Workplace Chemical List”?
A. Yes. The THCA requires that public employers meet the Act’s requirements for labeling, maintenance of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs), training, provision of personal protective equipment, etc., for ANY amount of a hazardous chemical. The only thresholds specified in the THCA are those for the Workplace Chemical List, which is a list of all hazardous chemicals which exceed 55 gallons or 500 pounds.
