§ 52:27d-223.
a. The Department of Environmental Protection, in consultation with the Department
of Community Affairs, shall develop a list of substances and their quantities (1)
which are not normally hazardous to the health and safety of a person in their common
chemical state but which become unusually hazardous to firefighters and the surrounding
community in the event of the exposure of the substance to a fire and (2) which are
not already covered by the Emergency Services Information Survey which is developed
and distributed pursuant to the “Worker and Community Right to Know Act” (P.L.1983,
c. 315; C.34:5A-1 et seq. ). b. The department shall develop a fact sheet for each substance contained on the list. The fact sheet shall describe (1) the unusually hazardous nature of a substance
to firefighters or the surrounding community, or both, in the event of the exposure
of the substance to a fire, and (2) the steps necessary to neutralize the hazard. c. The department shall include the list of unusually hazardous substances, using
their common names, on the Emergency Services Information Survey. The purpose of including this list on the survey is to require business entities
to report the manufacture, distribution, storage or warehousing of objects comprised
of substances identified by the department as unusually hazardous to firefighters
or the surrounding community in the event of the exposure of the substance to fire. It is not the intent of this act to require the reporting of materials that are
commonly used in the normal conduct of business, including, but not limited to, desks,
paneling, flooring, piping and rugs. d. The department shall adopt the list and fact sheet developed under this section
no later than three months prior to the effective date of this act.
