A joint resolution entitled: The Hazardous Substances "Right To Know" Resolution.

Declares that all persons in the workplace, regardless of whether they are employed in manufacturing or any other industrial or commercial enterprise, have a fundamental right to know when they are handling or are exposed to a hazardous substance which may threaten their health and well-being.

Declares that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration should immediately revise its Hazardous Communication Standard so as to: (1) provide for the dissemination of meaningful information to workers on the actual identity and composition of hazardous substances which workers handle or are exposed to; (2) extend "Right to Know" protection to all workers in all industries and services which are not covered by this standard; and (3) set minimum requirements which States may improve upon through appropriate legislation.

Commends the action of those State and local governments which have passed community "Right to Know" laws to safeguard the health and well-being of all their citizens in the community at large.
