Iowa Code § 89B.15 - Information for emergency response departments

1. At the same time that an employer provides the information to employees required under subchapter II, the employer shall submit to the local fire department a list of hazardous chemicals which are consistently generated by, used by, stored at, or transported from the employer’s facility. The information shall be provided in sufficient specificity that the local fire department is informed of the nature of the hazardous chemicals, the hazards presented by the chemicals, and the appropriate response in dealing with an emergency involving the hazardous chemicals. The information shall conform to guidelines adopted by the labor commissioner. The employer shall send the information by certified mail. The labor commissioner shall adopt rules exempting employers from this requirement when buildings or structures do not contain significant amounts of a hazardous chemical. 2.
