Disturbing Admissions by Shimadzu Management
The following letter was forwarded by Shimadzu management to Maryland Occupational
Safety & Health (MOSH) within the Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation
(Baltimore, MD, USA):
Dear Ms. Tapper,
This letter is in response to your July 22, 1996 letter regarding MOSH Case 1603. Your
letter states that.... "employees are not provided with the required material safety
data sheets (MSDS) or 'right to know' training and materials, and are provided with
insufficient training in the use of the hazardous materials with which they work."
....We [last] held Hazcom training for all employees in 1991, but did not continue with
annual training because the supervisors were supposed to do the Hazmat training during new
employee orientation. Apparently, some of the supervisors let this training slip through
the cracks.
Sincerely,
Gerry L. Carder
Human Resources Manager
n.b. What else has fallen thru the cracks at Shimadzu? You don't have enough fingers and toes to count the ways!
