5. If you are a public employer of any size you must comply with the <br />hazardous substance and harmful physical agent requirements; and if <br />you are a public hospital or clinic you must also comply with the <br />infectious agent requirements. <br />As a courtesy to you, the employer, we are attempting to make a direct <br />mailing to all places of employment that are covered. The enclosed poster <br />must be posted and the brochures are intended to summarize the obligations <br />of the employer and furnish information you will need for compliance. <br />Sources of additional information are included in the brochures. <br />I personally believe the inclusion of information about these hazardous <br />substances, harmful physical agents, and infectious agents in the workplace <br />will significantly reduce injury rates. Certainly the benefits to employers <br />in terms of reducing operating costs and to employees in terms of less <br />suffering will be well worth the efforts needed to comply with this Act. <br />Your anticipated cooperation is appreciated. <br />Very truly yours, <br />DEPARTMENT OF LABOR AND INDUSTRY <br />Ivan W. Russell, Director <br />Occupational Safety & Health <br />IWR:cmg <br />Enclosures <br />
